Thanksgiving Pies

I'm SO happy to report that after about 20 flops on pie crusts, attempts #21 and #22 turned out BEAUTIFULLY!  I made a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie this year for Thanksgiving and both were a success!  (A big success in my book - picture worthy actually!) 

 After baking:

I didn't try the pumpkin, but those who did liked it.  I ate the pecan pie and it was probably one of the best pecan pies I've ever had!  So, let me share my recipes with you!

Here's the recipe I used for the pie crust

Here's the recipe I used for the pumpkin pie (I doubled the cinnamon)

Here's the recipe I used for the pecan pie

I think the 2 reasons I succeeded with pie crusts this time are #1 the new recipe and #2 my pastry cloth, which I blogged about here.  I'd absolutely recommend them to everyone who will ever make a homemade pie crust!  They are amazing!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Hope you all did too!
