I was a busy girl yesterday... baking pies for Thanksgiving!
Pumpkin and Pecan...
Here's a peek and some recipes...and some helpful tips...
The pie dough I use comes from Martha Stewart. Her Pate' Brisee is one I have used for years... and it is the best, really! So easy, flaky and it hold up well!

The pumpkin pie recipe comes from the back of the Libby can. I just add a tad more cinnamon and cloves. You can find the recipe HERE.
The pecan pie recipe also comes from Martha and you can get the recipe HERE. I tweaked it a little by adding 1 1/2 cups rough chopped pecans to the pie mixture and then decorated the top with 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

ReplyDeleteYvonne, in the spirit of Thanksgiving I must tell you how grateful I am for you sharing all of your wonderful recipes. I have learned so much from your blog. My latest effort, your beef and barley soup, was just delicious.Even my husband who professed not to like barley scarfed it up. I hope you and your have a lovely day tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving Yvonne..pretty pies:-)
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne -
ReplyDeleteYour pies look delish and so pretty. I always wanted to try making the leaves for the edge - you make it look so easy. I hope you have a wonderful day - it looks like it is going to be a nice day. Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving
So pretty and delicious!! Perfect pies! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pies you have made for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI get mine from the store because I have pie making
phobia.
Hubby even hired a pie expert to come to my kitchen and show
me and my niece how to make pies.
It was so hot in the kitchen that day in late October that her
pies were hard to roll out.
Maybe someday I will just get up the courage to try and make a
pie crust and keep at it until I get one pie made.

Oh, your pies look SO pretty and delicious too! I love pumpkin pie, hoping we have some tomorrow:) Your guests are lucky people, very BLESSED to have YOU as their hostess (with the mostest)!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteWhy do you freeze the pie crust before using it???
ReplyDeleteSo that the butter will create steam, making it flaky. AND so the crust won't slump or shrink.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
They look just wonderful, I can't wait to get started. . . I think I'm going to make a pumpkin pie and an Apple Galette I got a whole basket of free green apples.....Have a most wonderful Thanksgiving...with love Janice
ReplyDeleteYour pies look beautiful Yvonne! Do you believe that in all these years of making pies I've never made/had a pecan one? Think I have to correct that! Happy Thanksgiving-enjoy:@)

Yvonne- Your pies are beautiful. I love the way you decorated the top of the pecan pie- It looks scrumptious! xoDiana
ReplyDeleteYum Yum!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are two of my favorites that I always make, Yvonne! Yours look so pretty. Happy Thanksgivng to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteYour pies look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a grand day.
I wasn't on pie detail this year. I did individual lack forest cakelets and pumpkin trifle. Too many desserts, as usual! Today I wish I had some of the left overs! :)
I have never made a pecan nut pie before (but I definitely love to eat them) - I always thought it would be a bit intimidating but this looks so scrumptious I am going to have to try it!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, your pies are absolutely gorgeous--and look delicious. My niece is looking for a new pecan pie recipe, so I will direct her to Stone Gable. She will love it! I hope you and your loved ones had a fabulous Thanksgiving. XX00
