I'm not a big pie fan, in fact, I really don't like pastry crust. I also don't like pie filling, either (the jelled stuff, from a can). I've eaten it before, but I really don't like it. For Thanksgiving, I always make apple crisp for me to eat while everybody else digs into the pie.
Last November I had to get the four hour blood test for gestational diabetes done at the hospital. It was brutal. Rob was kind enough to go with me to get it done. In the waiting area was a Martha Stewart magazine Rob looked through. He found a triple-chocolate pumpkin pie with a graham cracker crust. It looked promising, so we thought we'd try it. Didn't get to it last year, so two weekends ago we finally made it for the first time. It was pretty good. Not my favorite ever, but I do feel accomplished in that I made a pie.

Next we're going to try an apple pie. We're going to create the recipe by combining parts of other recipes. Of course it'll have a graham cracker crust and this time we'll do a "crisp" topping. I'll take photos for sure.

I, too, hate the nasty pie fillings. And, I'm not a big chocolate fan. I do love apple pie, though. {a la mode} I made a yummy pumpkin bar earlier this week. You'd think I wasn't trying to lose weight.
Ummm! Looks good to me!
Wow, that pie looks really good. Can't wait to see your apple pie!
That looks so good. I think apple crisp is just as good as apple pie. My favorite super easy pie, is key lime.
