Pie, pie, me oh my!

After one month at the pie shop I felt confident enough to take on Thanksgiving pies. So here they are, from start to finish all from scratch! 

This is a pretty standard pate brisee, with a twist that I learned at the shop... secret, of course. 

For the pumpkin filling I went with Paula Dean's recipe. I thought the addition of cream cheese sounded good.I won't know until tomorrow if that risk paid off. 

For my apple pie I decided to get a little creative. I learned there was going to be apple crisp served as well I thought a pre-cooked apple with orange juice, a little zest, vanilla bean and clove would be nice.

And here they are!

Happy Thanksgiving
