Everyday Food for Busy People
Thanksgiving means pie. This apple pie fits right in with the required pumpkin and pecan pies. Using brown sugar instead of white makes the filling rich, dark and caramely.

Last week my neighbor gave me some fresh blackberries. There weren’t quite enough for a cobbler or pie, but I had a few peaches too. I was not sure if this combination would taste good, so I asked for opinions on the Eat at Home Facebook page. A few thought it was worth trying and a few people voted no on the idea.
Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to try it. The verdict? Yum! You can’t go wrong with fresh summer fruit sweetened and baked into a pie.

My mother-in-law makes the best strawberry pie (and peach using the same recipe). The crust reminds me of sugar cookies and the glaze enhances the flavor of the strawberries and makes the pie look as good as it tastes.
The Kentucky Derby is this Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville. Even if you’ve never watched a horse race before, the Derby is the perfect excuse to make this pie. I made two of them over the weekend. They didn’t last 24 hours.
