It's a very odd color, but delicious.

I'm going to make that as a cobbler tonight, in fact!

Almonds go well with blueberry for some reason.

#2 Blackberry

Next is cherry.

If so, I vote rhubarb--with toasty oats and a sprinkle of sugar on top.

Rhubarb is one of those things I miss most about the Midwest. Can't remember the last time I even saw it in Florida, and back then, it was like $6/lb!

Oh, to be able to snap off a stalk and crunch on some right now... *whine*

With a nice dollop of whipped cream.

Add a tsp of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture.

I love all fruit pies--and berry pies.

In any form, be it pie, cobbler, or crisp. I like it so much that at least once I remember demanding a peach pie instead of a cake for my birthday. My mom obliged, because my dad also preferred pie (usually cherry or apple) for his).

I like its tartness, and add only half the sugar called for in the recipe.

Rhubarb is the best half the suger is also the way to go. Some people bastardize it with strawberry in my opinion that ruins it.

Warm it up and throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it please!

made with fresh blackberries from my backyard

Almost worth the torn flesh from the spines

Usually with a nice dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Apple is a close second, with a slice of cheddar on top.

Apple and lemon meringue!

It's not a pie or cobbler, it's a cake, but I dearly love Pineapple Upside-down Cake!

Followed by Apple crumb, cherry, and lemon merengue.

Apple pie and peach cobbler.

had a big tree in my backyard. my ex butchered it. took a while to die, but i knew rt then it was over.

My mom used to make it from elderberries we'd pick, but now I have to order frozen elderberries. I love the combination of the soft apples and crunchy little elderberries. Plus, it makes the pie a fun purple color.

crunchy brown sugar.

Hard to pick but fun to think about, it has been a long, long time since I made anything like that. MMMmmmm

I live a mile from one of the most famous Apple stands in the nation here in WNC. They also sell many many fruits and vegetables. Most all grown right here, and all the apples are from their orchards.
They also bake. And ship the goods nationwide.
Open from August 1 until a day after Christmas.
Always a line. Multiple baked goods and pies of every kind. (Apple Cakes are known national wide)
My favorite pie they make is the multi fruit, consisting of 3 apple varieties, blueberries, peaches, strawberries and rhubarb. To die for.
I know the owners well, one year I had them bake the pies in the size of Chicken Pot pies for single peeps like me. Cause I have to eat the whole thing at full size. They stopped that so now I am bake to full size.
I will be in line Friday after this one, for my pie. And try like hell to get out with only that.
If you ever come to WNC and want direction's, DM me. And try them all. You will make it an annual trip.

When it comes to pie, I like the crust to be slightly underbaked rather than too brown, and I especially like it when the juice from the fruit filling soaks into the bottom crust.

This is probably un-American, but apple pie, while I like it, would be my least favorite.

followed closely behind by apple and blueberry

My wife makes an incredible apricot cobbler, sometimes enhanced with nectarines, raspberries or both.

She is a master chef from Germany. They have pastry in their DNA.

My top three are:
Cherry
Blackberry
Lemon Meringue

rhubarb-strawberry sucks. rhubarb-cherry is way better. too hot now.

You know I'm a dark choco-holic so anything else has to be really impressive!
😄

This (back 35 yrs ) then small NYC pie company made it. Had it first at our annual 9th Ave Food Festival. I'd occasionally go get a slice.
Waaay later they really expanded, and it never tasted as good.

Then a very nice chocolate, and fruit, nut pastry shop has this lemon bar. Very tasty!

Wish I liked key lime pie, but too strong for me.

Never had, but just looked up what it supposed to taste like - rhubarb.

Northern Spy or McIntosh !!

As a kid I always opted for lemon meringue pie instead of birthday cake.

It's the easiest to make too. But I also love cranberry pear.

I've tried many different recipes, but hers beats all the rest.

Look what you've done! Now, I want pie!

with vanilla on top.

that was .
