The Piefect Way to Warm Your Home

Mmm, cinnamon warms our home. The aroma penetrates every nook and cranny of our hardwood floors. Brown sugar caramelizing turns patience into a virtue that is missing from my family's taste buds. I have made great apple pies for years (I used to cheat with refrigerated crusts), but in the last couple of years I have mastered the perfect flaky crust with a hint of butter and the perfect compliment of spices and sweetness to the apples. My husband no longer desires to take the pie to work to share with his co-workers. He has hoarding complex! And when I make homemade vanilla ice cream to go with it, he is quite sure our home is the entrance to heaven.

Do you enjoy making pies? If making pie crust threatens you, give Pillsbury refrigerated crusts a try. They are very good and so easy to use.

I am going to share a wonderful secret with you, I know of two blogs giving away pie making kits from Pillsbury. Nicole, over at Stay At Home Mom Reviews and Hannah, with Sherbet Blossom are both having the piefect giveaways! It will include a basket from Pillsbury that includes pie plates, pie cut outs for the crust, etc. I often use cut outs during the holidays at our home. On Thanksgiving for instance, I always cut a turkey out of the center of our apple pie. On my husband's birthday I cut Tigger out of the center of his dark cherry pie.

What is your favorite kind of pie? Anybody figure out how to make a yummy, healthy pie yet?
