A warm slice of apple pie with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream. A not-too-tart sour cherry pie with a soft, flaky, almond-scented crust.  A towering lemon meringue pie with a tart lemony filling and a cloudlike meringue topping. Whether it's a buttery pastry or graham cracker crust, a fruit or chocolate cream filling, or a lattice crust or cinnamon streusel topping, who doesn't love a wedge of freshly baked pie?

Where I found a good blueberry pie recipe. Also has great tips for preparing frozen pie filling pp. 76-77.

This book has the best instructions for making pies of any I have ever used. It also includes a huge collection of pie crust recipes. Even if you don't use the pie recipes (and you should use the pie recipes, because they are delicious), the extras alone would make this book worth the purchase. ( )
