I love that you call Kate the pie maestro. That is exactly what she is! Your pie turned out beautiful. And now I’m going to have to do a little investigating into what May 13th has been deemed National Pie Day. Will follow up if I find out.
“Keep everything chilled, especially yourself.” So best! I love this post, Jolene (I mean, I love them all, but this one was just perfect today.)
I'm not much of a pie-eater -- I'm really not much of a sweets-eater and never have been -- but I've come to appreciate pie more in the last couple years, since I've found a tiny in-home bakery in my village that produces the most amazing pies. I really love cherry pie. But I'm also not sure I've ever had blueberry, so I'm putting it on my list to order this summer!

Loooove the painting 🖼🥧😍 "Pies" means "dog" in Polish, so "Pies Pies Pies" made me chuckle a bit 🥧🥧🥧🐶🐶🐶😄 You know, apple pie is one of my favorite desserts! My grandmother used to make the best ones with sour apples from her garden. Now she makes them with the ones from the store. The taste is different but still amazing. Thanks for the history link - I'll give it a read for sure! Have a lovely weekend Jolene ☀️
Thank you, Jolene, for this wonderful post today! I will make this apple pie for sure. I had the pleasure of meeting Kate and Greta Pie at Village Books in Bellingham. She was on tour with her second book on home cooking. Such a lovely person! ♥️
I loved reading this! Apple pie is the kind I grew up on, so I think it will always be my favorite. I’ve never tried my hand at making a pie, but between you and Kate I feel like I have to at least make a first attempt sometime soon!
Every day could be Apple Pie Day as far as I’m concerned as this is probably my favorite--though I just tasted what was undoubtedly the BEST banana cream pie EVER at Gjelina in Venice, CA. Thanks for another great story and for reminding me this is a pie you can make in any season, not just for Thanksgiving. I’ve never tried making one with the skins left on, but it sounds like it would be terrific with heritage apples, most readily available in fall. Think I’ll make pie this weekend!🤗
Oh, that Wayne Thiebaud painting is hauntingly good - I can imagine so many folks leaving comments are being those who really could do with a print of it on their wall : )
(And as a history + food nerd, I really enjoyed learning about apples being native to Asia - I will have to dig into that some more...and some pie...)
Interesting article Jolene! Love the ad for Crisco. My mom made delicious pies that would melt in you mouth, but I have never developed her ease with pie dough. She would sometimes serve apple pie with a piece of sharp cheddar. Strawberry rhubarb is my favorite with that combination of sweet and tart.
Amazing article as always Jolene, thank you! I'm a huge fan of Kate and her work, her book has top priority in my "to buy" list, and her newsletter is brilliant. Gotta hurry up and make the pie before the last of the apples disappear 🍎🍎🍎

Why is National Apple Pie Day in *May*?
Bet your kitchen smelled wonderful when that pie was baking! Very nice piece, Jolene!

Thanks for sharing the recipe, Jolene. I hope you had a piece for breakfast this morning. Breakfast of champions, eh?
It all looks so delicious, as always Jolene! "The first printed recipe for apple pie dates back to 1381 England" 🤯

Another great article, Jolene. I really enjoy these!
Blueberry pie with Brigham’s vanilla ice cream is my all-time favorite, though apple with the same is a close second.
Shared this with my daughter, as she is still perfecting her pie-making (or I should say crust-making) skills.
Thanks for all of the fun and interesting information!

I love the advert, ‘it’s digestible’ 😁😂 sounds yummy. This post makes me want to bake an apple pie 🥧 😘😘
