For this weeks pie contribution I made Sweet Potato Pie. This pie is so good. It totally exceeded my expectations. We all think it is so much better than pumpkin pie. I used one of my favorite ingredients in the filling: browned butter. MMM so good!
Check out the pie pan I have been using. It has this lever in it. When I am ready to serve the pie I swirl the lever around the pie pan and it releases the pie from the pan. I was skeptical at first thinking it would tear at the crust but it works like a charm. My slices come right out. If you can find one of these pans I highly recommend it.
We are now one month away from the 2014 Great American Pie Festival. It will be held in Celebration, FL the weekend of April 26-27. If you are headed to the festival you will want to check out next weeks post as I will be having a give away. A family four pack of tickets to the Never Ending Pie Buffet.
