Whether your tastes run to creamy, ice-box chilled confections topped with meringue or double-crusted fruit pies, pie is a wonderful, traditional dessert that offers a lot of options for the home cook. They can be almost as simple as a cobbler, with juicy fruit topped with a crispy, chunky, crumbly crust, or as lovingly time-consuming as a double-crusted apple pie filled with the fruit of six apples. Either way, it’s a treat for the diner that doesn’t come their way often. Take a page out of a Southern cookbook and serve up a deep-fried fruit pie, or turn your tastes towards savory and prepare a main course of pot pie that envelopes chicken vegetables and a silky gravy. A traditional, double-crusted pie takes time to prepare, but isn’t really difficult. Anyone who doesn’t mind spending some time in the kitchen can create a perfect pie.
