Cookbook Club (1/3) -- Best pies you made this month?!

Quintessential Apple pie was a big hit

So far my favorite has been the Rustic Pear Tart. I'm a crust lover so the crust to filling ratio is a little better for me.

I loved the lemon meringue! It's was completely delicious and provided enough of a challenge that I felt like I was really learning some fun new techniques! I'm proud to say that on my 3rd try my meringue finally set beautifully!

I made three pies this month and it is so hard to pick one as my favorite, but last night I made chicken pot pie for dinner and I have to say that recipe was AMAZING!

Out of the 3 pies I made, my favorite was the Quintessential Apple Pie that I made with a butter-bacon fat dough and attempted to top with a herringbone lattice crust!

I love, love, love the Italian Nettle Sausage Pie. I'm normally not big on leftovers, but I happily ate this for dinner, and then again for subsequent lunches and breakfasts (it's cheesy and eggy and perfect breakfast/brunch fare). I used spinach and baby kale but look forward to making it with nettles when they're in season.

Blueberry Pie!! The recipe worked perfectly!
