Top Five Pies

9 Feb

Pie is the best food ever.  Except for maybe ice cream.  But you can put ice cream on pie and settle the whole debate.

With or without ice cream, here are the top five pies.

5.  Cherry
It’s tart.  It’s sweet.  And you can put sugar on the crust.

4.  Shepard
Apparently the recipe that has been handed down to me by my Lilly is not “real” Shepard’s pie –thank you Wilbur.  But I have never been a stickler for tradition.

3.  Apple
A bit fussy, but with Vanilla Ice Cream….  I never understood how Sheriff Corbin ever ended up with soup.

2  Key Lime
Forget the sweet, it’s just tart.  And the graham cracker crust doesn’t suck.

Banana Cream
It’s like ice cream that’s stable at room temperature wrapped in a pie crust.  I win.

Honorable mention
Peach.  But peaches are better in cobbler, and cobbler isn’t pie.
Blueberry.  But blueberries are better in both a muffin and a buckle with ginger streusel.
