I think my favorite fruit pie is seasonal: cherry, raspberry, blueberry, apple, pumpkin.
I'm weird about fruit in a baked concoction. I'd rather have apple crisp than pie, berry cobbler than pie, and just plain old cherries out of a bowl than pie.
But pumpkin pie is KING.
I haven't baked an apple crisp yet! I need to rectify that situation.

I baked my first Apple crisp of the season last night for Canadian Thanksgiving!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess I'll make an apple crisp on Friday. I wish I had some oatmeal. Hmm.
Happy belated Thanksgiving, Canada!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The bit where the pastry meets the fruit is the best bit for me. I dunno, the berry pies don't appeal to me much, other than the blueberries. Pumpkin pie I only really like the pastry with a sheen of pumpkin on. Kind of a waste. I should see what CI has to say on the topic.

If I could eat gluten, I would have already bought ALL of the pumpkin-flavored products TJs is carrying. And we would be bankrupt. Pumpkin is a harsh mistress.
But SO TASTY.

I love pumpkin pie, and sugar cream pie, but if you're talking fruit, blueberry is awesome. And rhubarb is up there too.
Tomorrow the Jay Z will not be an issue because I will have to get up and go work somewhere--today was a "work from hotel" day (where so far I've gotten very little done, thanks to this headache, but better today than tomorrow).

I don't use oatmeal in my apple crisp!

Pumpkin and blueberry are my favorite pies, with key lime running a distant third.
Grrr. I could have been working on artwork for a client for the last two days, but they didn't release specs before the long weekend and have now apparently piddled all of today away with inaction. So I'll have two days to do what should have been 4 days' worth of work, and the extremely short turnaround limits how much outside help I can bring in.
