apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Gotta be apple pie. Or blueberry.

Cherry ala mode

Sour cherry pie! Yes!

My favorite summer pie is a Georgia Peach Pie. During the hot months of July and August, the peaches start rolling in the farmer's markets: juicy and tender, with vivid red seeds. My pie uses peach halves instead of quarters and they're stacked in a deep pie dish. The result is amazing fruit pie, with pink and yellow colors.

dewberry. at least in the good dewberry years. (wow, i just marked myself as southern right there. yep.)

in the off years for dewberries, strawberry (either cold or no-bake).

yum!

cherry pie...we've made two already.

rhubarb frangipane pie. traditionally the frangipane or almond cream is paired with pears because the subtlety of the pears balance out the extremely sweet cream. but since it is summer and rhubarbs in season, resoundingly tart and flavorful, i think it would provide a nice contrast to the frangipane.

Cherry!!!

Oh, strawberry, strawberry, strawberry--with so much vanilla ice-cream you can't see the pie.

I love to cook and bake but I've never made a pie crust to my satisfaction. So my favorite summer pie is a trip to Betty's Pies on the North Shore of Lake Superior: http://www.bettyspies.com/

Rhubarb. Every year I visit my grandma near my birthday and we make a rhubarb pie with rhubarb from her garden together. She has a wonderful set of different size pie pans and we also have little extra crust that we make into a cinnamon and sugar pie.

My mum's mile high apple pie. Hands down, best thing in the world.

Strawberry Rhubarb!

ohhhh, strawberry rhubarb. soooo delicious.

Cherry. And Lemon Meringue. Both because of my mother. Her birthday is right around the 4th of July and growing up we used to have big bbqs to celebrate both. She would always make a mile high lemon meringue that would knock your socks off, from scratch no less. Cherry pie is her favorite though and this year I aim to bring her a homemade one straight from my kitchen in SF to hers down in Long Beach to celebrate.

Strawberry rhubarb for sure!

Key lime with fresh raspberries.

cherry pie

What, no one's mentioned key lime? Maybe not exactly "in season," fruit-wise (and generally comes out of bottles and cans -- I know, yuck), but it always reminds me of my summers in Florida...

Peaches and Cream pie. It satisfies fruit lovers, cake lovers and pie lovers alike in one sweet, creamy bite.

There's variations of this pie on sites like allrecipes.com (which use canned peaches, instant pudding, etc.) but nothing beats my mom's version with fresh peaches.

I imagine this would be fantastic with strawberries, too.

Oh this would be great! Strawberry pie in the early summer, then peach and then blackberry cobbler towards the end....mmmmm!

Boysenberry. Oh, and Sour Cherry!

strawberry rhubarb followed closely by blueberry.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie.

So yummy and a cinch to make.

Peach with struesel topping, in the summer. Pecan, otherwise.

I love strawberry rhubarb.

This is my favorite pie, A loaded Apple Pie! It was the first pie I made entirely from scratch and it's been my favorite ever since:

:)

mango

Fresh Peach Pie!!YUM

Sour cream raisin, since it's almost Father's Day. It wasn't until I moved away from home that I realized my dad's favorite pie was almost unknown in the outside world! But it's a great pie, especially with meringue.

I've never baked one, but am curious to try out a stawberry and rhubard pie.

Rhubarb-Pineapple with a crumb topping... it has canned crushed pineapple... sweet but with a tang.

chocolate chip pecan pie. holy cow is that good.

strawberry rhubarb - but oh how i wish my grandma were still here to make it...

I love picking blackberries and making a wonderful fresh pie with them - there's something about going through all the painfull scratches that makes it taste that much better...

My favorite kind is definitely cherry! I've never made one with fresh cherries, but I'm hoping to this summer.

Texas Peach Pie, easy on the sugar, with home made vanilla bean ice cream, also just lightly sweet.

Chocolate mousse, or banana cream. Both disgustingly easy for pie, and don't require me to turn on the oven in the heat of summer.

Rhubarb ginger!

crispy light soft sugary and melty apple cinnamon pie

Strawberry rhubarb à-la-mode, with lots of vanilla ice cream.

Mixed red berrry. Yum.

Strawberry or blueberry pie

Peach or blueberry

Strawberry Rhubarb, definitely. I'm getting my local, organic produce delivery today, and I am expecting both in my box.

Apple pie with a side of homemade ice cream. Nothing beats that!

Mmm, cherry.

That said, these things WILL crack if you pour molten sugar into them. I had a blue one and then tried to make flan in it. I fail.

blueberry

but if I win I'll tell y'all about my chocolate pudding pie.

I love blueberry pie! Although pumpkin pie comes in at a close second, even if it's not Thanksgiving!

Nothing says "Summer" more succinctly for me than a slice of freshly made strawberry pie. :)

Cherry, of course!

blackberry!

Mmmm, key lime or mile high strawberry.

cherry pie. Mmmmmmm.

peach!

It's a tie between strawberry rhubarb or sour cherry... mmmm

Definitely cherry! I am starting a list of all of the things I want to learn how to make from scratch over the summer and a pie is #1!

Blueberry...yum, with a little extra cinnamon!

Mixed berry for me

Peach and blackberry pie - my summertime favorite

Whatever looks the best at the farmer's market, with sugar on top! And I promise that if I win one I will stop using Pillsbury pie crusts and try making my own crusts.

I love apple pie with ice cream. But, my husband loves strawberry rhubarb!!! We desperately need good pie pans - this would be awesome!

cherry, strawberry rhubarb

Not pie in the sky,
I like my lemon meringue
On a summer day.

Something about lemon meringue has really hooked me this summer... but I love rhubarb, too.

I gotta vote for blueberry/blackberry!

I love a really good strawberry-rhubarb pie. Mmmmm.

I'm not really into pie (too intimidating!) but I've never met an apple pie I didn't like. Maybe if I had a *beautiful* pie dish, I'd be tempted to try making one myself!

oh I love these! If I win one, I will make a strawberry-rhubarb pie -- my favorite.

We enjoy peach raspberry pie in the sizzly summer months. And when we're feeling adventurous, we'll make lemon blueberry basil pie. Fresh and zingy....it really wakes up your taste buds!

My favorite is cherry pie with a big scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream.

I think these would be amazing. I love strawberry. Thanks

blueberry-nectarine: recipe from baking with julia (childs, of course)

strawberry pie with fresh picked strawberries. And of course wip cream and icecream!

carlyharrell(at)yahoo(dot)com

MMM...my favorite would have to be my grandma's cherry pie. And how convenient. She just sent me the recipe! Now if I only had a beautiful pie dish to cook it in. :)

my favorite pie is PEAR pie. I usually prepare it with a few different types of pears!

Right now I can't get enough of peach pies and tarts. I love a good Alabama peach (sorry, Georgia!) and they've been in my CSA box frequently in the past month. I could go for one right now...

My favorite pie all the time is my Graeat Aunt Grace's Chess Pie.

Blackberry! And I have all my fingers crossed that this year we'll finally get a decent wild blackberry crop so I can make myself a pie for my *gasp* 40th birthday next month. But berries or no, I would love to win one of these gorgeous pie dishes! : )

apple pie! or any fruit-filled pie. (strawberry rhubarb sounds delectable.)

Blueberry - when they're so plentiful, it seems a shame not to.

depends on the season- in the summer, it's blackberry or fresh strawberry (with at least 4 inches of fresh whipped cream on top), and in the winter it's pumpkin pie all the way.

cherry is an all-time classic, but a new favorite is gooseberry, or black-bottom banana cream pie . . . do I have to pick one!

Blueberry custard

Blueberry pie, so good

A classic... apple pie a la mode! Though that upside-down-cake-looking one looks delicious...

Strawberry.

Or blueberry.

Or peach.

Aaargh! I can't pick just one! All with vanilla ice cream!

Blueberry! Cherry! Key Lime! Brown sugar chess pie! I love pie!

Chess Pie. Mmmmm pie :-)

Peach pie, with a crumb topping. Yum!

Nectarine crumble. With white nectarines off my own trees, in about two weeks. A friend makes a cobbler with white and yellow nectarines and I adapted her recipe to a pie, because all cobblers are better reinterpreted as pie.

This year I want to make individual-sized pies to take in lunches.

I must say peach / blueberry with mom's homemade crust! YUM!!!

blueberry or cherry!

Nothing better than blueberry pie with homemade vanilla ice cream.

Peach.

strawberry rhubarb crumble topped with vanilla ice cream!

Mixed berry, with wild blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, with a hint of berry liqueur.

No brainer. Peach pie with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream!

my birthday is in august, and my favorite birthday cake is blackberry pie. mmmm....

I just made my first blueberry pie!

It was amazing! A new favorite for sure.

Lemon Meringue!

Apple made with Granny Smiths!

Key Lime Pie!!! Ooh so refreshing

new mexico apple (apple with green chile and pinon) -- in pie town, NM.

Either blueberry-rhubarb (with wild Maine blueberries) or blackberry.

Absolutely rhubarb, although my son votes for blueberry.

Favorite pie is actually cheesecake but for pie I love cherry. Yummy.

Lemon Meringue!

Summertime means Strawberry Rhubarb Pie in my family. My mom grows an enormous rhubarb plant each year and we bake our hearts away all summer.

vegan pot pie. don't like the fruity stuff.

Summer is perfect for berry pies - the color alone is enough for me to swoon!

Blueberry-blackberry pie. Rather expensive, but totally worth it!

~Q

Banana cream pie!

definitely cherry pie with whipped cream.

banana cream!!

This one is a tough question. I would have to go with the Florida Pie (thank you, Dorie Greenspan!); it combines the taste of lime with coconut. What could be better?

Chess pie. A favorite for all seasons.

Cherry Blueberry Crumb. MMmmmmm...

Double crust peach pie—no crumb topping for me.

I have great savory onion tart that I make fairly regularly, In the summer it's especially tasty cooled down, at room temp, with a salad and a glass of white wine.....

I love either a strawberry pie or a blackberry apple pie-yum!

Blueberry or Blackberry! YUM!

All pies are delicious, but for summer I'll say peach...

BOYSENBERRY FO SURE

I love peach pie and make it every summer!

I love key lime pie. I like to bake quiche in a pie pan, too!

Cherry Pie and tons of vanilla ice cream. MMMMM

Anything with the crumb topping, plus some ice cream. However, I am partial to apple and rhubarb..

hands down, strawberry rhubarb.

blueberry!

Rhubarb pie!

strawberry rhubarb with cream. the list here is making me salivate!

I love fresh peach pie!

Cherry or Key Lime

Wild picked huckleberry pie!

well it's late summer but I love blackberry pie!

grape pie

sour cherry clafoutis!

mmm... I love lemon meringue in the summertime!

My favorite is peanut butter pie.

apple or cherry!

I think my favorite has to be the classic apple pie. And maybe some homemade bourbon ice cream to accompany. Mmmmm....

fresh blueberry, although I have to admit it is very difficult for me not to eat all the blueberries before I get to make a pie!

always pecan, always a la mode

Cherry pie. Lots of vanilla ice cream to top it off. Peach pie is a close second.

Peeeeach pie! With vanilla ice cream.... *drool

My favorite summer pie is a homemade mixed berry (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)pie.

Definitely Strawberry-Rhubarb!

Blueberry!

Cherry apricot usually tops the list.

Strawberry Rhubarb or Lemon Icebox. It's a toss up! So I'll have to make both!!!

It used to be blueberry, but I made a rhubarb pie last summer and it was wonderful.

Mixed berry - Blueberry, Boysenberry, Raspberry & Strawberry with lots of lemon zest!

A lovely apple pie... Well, that's more of my year-around favorite pie :)

My husband makes the best cherry pie-complete with a homemade crust!! YUM!

Apply pie ala mode is certainly my favorite. But I do love peach, blueberry and strawberry pies too!

HunnyV "at" Optonline "dot" net

Strawberry Rhubarb or Cherry!

My favorite pie is cherry along with pumpkin pie.

The berry varieties! Blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, or mixed!

Strawberry-rhubarb, hands down!

Blackberry pie with fresh picked blackberries!

It used to be strawberry rhubarb, but rhubarb is hard to find in Arizona. Now, it is peach with a cornmeal crust.

I love this pie pan! My birthday is also in August, I have homemade raisin pie (if we can find it) instead of cake. I definitely need learn how to make it . My Mom use to make it before she gave up making pies. My Mom also use to make sour cherry from our trees we use to have. Wow! does that bring back sweet summer memories.

Peach Pie is my all time summer favourite.

key lime is the best

Blueberry, no question. For summer at least.

Peach or cherry

Dutch apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream on the side. Oh my!

blueberry blueberry blueberry

Blueberry, hands down

Strawberry, of course! Also peanut-butter ice cream.

Apple/pear pie

Strawberry pie is my favorite :)

heatherlbrandt (at) verizon (dot) net

CHERRY PIE ALL THE WAY. I want a slice now actually!

mmm... blueberry peach pie!!

I like a cherry pie. I'd like one right now, as a matter of fact.

Sour cherry pie from when I was little and we had a cherry tree with fruit too sour to eat straight.

Strawberry-Rhubarb is my favorite! You just can't have it in the winter.

Key lime for me! SO good!

it is a toss-up between cherry and strawberry-rhubarb. I can eat the entire dish of either.

It would be easier to type what pies I don't like! Sour cherry, strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry, peach, banana cream, strawberry, apple, dutch apple, love them all!

Apple tops them all.

cherry....or apple....mmm....cherry....I can't decide!!

Grandma's apple pie with the flaky crust. The best.

Blueberry, tho I am not a big pie fan. I usually end up making a cobbler instead.

plum pie! reine claude are the best.

strawberry rhubarb has been my recent favorite, but my old standby since childhood is definitely a lemon meringue.

Strawberry Rhubarb pie! My grandma used to grow it in her garden, and she would ALWAYS make pie with it.

huckleberry! delicious, especially when you make it from the berries you picked!!

mmmm...my grandma's cottage blueberry pie would look so awesome in this!

Peach pie, because my mom's birthday is in June, and that's what she likes in lieu of a cake.


(Not that anyone asked, but peaches (among other fruits) exude lots of juice when they bake in a pie. If you include some dried fruit, it'll soak up the juice and thus make the pie less runny and the crust crisper (or at least, less soggy). The dried fruit doesn't have to match the fresh fruit.)

Being from Texas, PEACH!

raspberry (or any berry) pie with almond crumble topping.

I don't think I can pick just one. Any fresh summer fruit pie.

White peach pie with vanilla bean and cardamom--beautiful!

Anything with raspberries. Or strawberries. Really any pie, really...

Strawberry rhubarb---i just need to learn how to make it! I LOVE them.

Oooh, those are beeeoootiful! :) I would have to say all the berries, especially cherry and blackberry because I can make those with fruit picked right from my yard!

chilled chocolate mousse pie w/strawberries!

I love a rustic apple pie.... buttery, flaky crust.... cinnamon.... vanilla bean... sweet apples.... (heaven)
gkstratos @yahoo.com

My husband and I love bakeware! The style and color of these pie plates are wonderful We would enjoy one of these special pie plates. My favorite kind of summer pie is
"Strawberry Rhubarb!" Please enter us in your contest drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

Ooo...pies...fresh peach pie or chocolate pecan pie....yumm.....

I'm a big apple pie and key lime pie lover... Mmmm. I'd LOVE this pie dish for some apple pie.

Gotta be cherry pie. Making one this weekend after heading to the farmer's market.

Dutch apple pie - gotta love the crumb topping. Blueberry is a close second, but only when it's made with real blueberries...

Lemon Meringue. All year round!

Warm razzleberry pie with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream is the BEST! I use a 150-year-old pie crust recipe that uses one egg and vinegar, and comes out so flaky and flavorful. A combination of raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries make the yummiest and most nutritious summer pies. Memorable, and even more so with the beautiful Emile Henry pie dish.

skytoucher

For me it's definitely apple pie!!
I would love to win this, I can't wait to make my family some fantastic apple pie and ice-cream. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ann dot guns at mac dot com

Ooooooh . . .warm peach pie . . . yummy!

I have to go peach on this one. Peach-raspberry is also scrumptious...

I remember hating pie until my mom made a raspberry pie with a hint of cinnamon...and then there was derby pie...and then rhubarb cream...

Now, I can't get enough pie! Any flavor. Any where. Any time!

My Dad's lemon meringue...hands down.

Hot apple pie with ice cream :-)

Apple!

There's something SO inviting about a Dutch Apple Pie! That's my favorite pie of all for summer. I remember in the movie Starman (yes, I am old!), his favorite Earth food was Dutch Apple Pie, too.

These pie dishes are so cute, I would love to win one!

Peach, Yum!!!

hmmmm...lemon, apple, cherry, chocolate mousse...: )

jasonncaryn at yahoo dot com

Strawberry Rhubarb, made with local Long Island strawberries and fresh rhubarb. A dollop of Hagen-Daz Vanilla doesn't hurt, either!

Strawberry Rhubarb!

Mmm, comparing pie to a summer's day? I'd bake blueberries in the green pie dish, and blackberries in the pink pie dish, and peaches and raspberries in the brown pie dish, and cherries in the blue dish. Then I'd continue to rotate the combinations, and enjoy each fruit in its season. Sweet memories!

Apple pie = summer.

Strawberry pie. Yummy!

Cherry pie! Though, I've just discovered Strawberry-Rhubarb and that could turn out to be a strong contender.

Cherry pie, most definitely!

fresh blackberry pie just like my grandmother made

Peach and blackberry pie. Yum!

My favorite summer pie is strawberry. Mmmm!

blueberry pie definitely!

Favorite summer pie is my Mom's homemade blueberry pie. It was my Dad's favorite too! He used to love to snag a piece shortly after it came out of the oven, and while it was warm, would plop a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on it!

I STILL eat it that way to this day!

cataroo@cox.net

I need this something awful
