Oh I saw pecan pies at the grocery store, baked goods section for 5.99.

Maybe it's time to start making pies from peanuts.
It can be done.  See my post in the Thanksgiving thread.

I love pecan pie. But the king of American baked goods is still the pumpkin pie :mmm:

Cal, aren't you growing pecans on that small estate of yours? If not, here's your chance to make some big bucks!
Nah.  I may try those eventually but they take forever to mature and produce nuts.

No way man.  Pecan pie >>>>>>>> pumpkin pie (though I do like the latter).  I had no pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving because I was saving all the room for pie in my belly for pecan pie.

Apple

Agreed.

There is apple pie, then there is everything else.

Every year on my birthday I'm asked what kind of birthday cake I might like.  Each year I reply the same "apple pie".

Only once have I received an apple pie for my birthday. :(

Apple pie is the Budweiser of pies.

Coconut creme and banana creme are the Champagne pies.

Strenuously disagree.

Cream pies are all about the sweet.

An apple pie is more complex - it's the tartness balanced against the sweetness.  It's the in and yang of pies.
