We were assigned/requested pies for Thanksgiving so I'm making:

* Dutch Apple pie (a dense pie with a crumb topping)
* Brown Butter Pumpkin
* Buttered Rum Pie (something new!)

I'm at least going to make up the pie crust dough today. The latter two should be cool or cold when served and all of the pie crusts need to be baked or par-baked.

3 pies made, a little worried the Buttered Rum pie won't set up, but the filling is tasty.

Definitely taking a nap before Thanksgiving dinner

I used the Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds pie crust recipe and they came out sooooo well. Perfectly flaky and no soggy bottoms, even with liquid filling.

The Buttered Rum pie didn't quite set up, but it still tasted exactly like it was supposed to. The crusts on all of them were so good I could lift out slices or halves of the pie without it losing shape. #bragging

My mom told me she just made pumpkin pie filling cups because who cares about pie crust which...she used to, so this is clearly virtue signalling.

But her pie crusts, while beautiful, are usually all-Crisco, with no sugar and whole wheat flour (WHUT) while mine are all-butter, with some sugar. So. 😏

@linaerys oooh, do you have a recipe?

@missp

For the crust? Or one of the pies? Either way, sure!

@linaerys the crust!

@missp Sent! I have big pie pans so I tend to make the recipe a little bigger than it calls for, though with the same ratios. For 3 pies this weekend I made enough dough for 4, and had enough leftover for two little tarts
