I just made your pie today-it’s still cooling, but I have to tell you how excited I am to dig in! (I totally geeked out on mine and took a whole bunch of pictures…) Thanks for your recipe; this is my first solo pie.

First of all, I love Pushing Daisies!
Second of all, awesome recipe! I used it today to make a pie for my dad. Quite possibly the best apple pie I’ve ever had.
I’m posting a link to this on my blog so other people can find it. I hope you don’t mind.

HeyHo.
I’m from Germany and I just wanted to bake this pie.
Could anyone translate this recipe in German?
This would be great.
Thanks a lot.

Thank you SO much!
Like I imagined it from the TV-show.
I’m from Germany and I first had to convert the units, but it worked out quite well.
The first pie I ever made and it was sooooo gooood…

Oh and leaf lard is such a good idea. It’s wonderful for caloric desserts.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Being myself a cheese-lover, I always find the gruyere apple pie moments of Pushing Daisies mouth-watering. I’ll definitely try it over the Holidays

Wow. We love Pushing Daisies, too (too bad it got cancelled – a lot of the best off-beat shows usually do), and were looking for a gruyere recipe when we found this one. The crust was absolutely top-notch. My wife is an excellent baker, and has made some excellent pie crust in her days, but we both agreed this was above and beyond all others. We think the apple filling came out a bit watery, but the crust was awesome. We made it with butter. The next time, however, half-way through, we unfortunately found out we had no butter, but only margarine. We decided to forge ahead. It made a HUGE difference. I mean, it was still a good crust, but it lost a lot of what made it absolutely excellent. The flavor wasn’t the same, and it wasn’t as light,layered,flakey as it was the first time. Given those differences, and Tisha’s recommendation for leaf lard, I’d love to try it that way some time… if I can talk my wife into it. Great recipe! Thanks! We’ve found our new favorite apple pie crust recipe.

Wanting to make a Thanksgiving pie (& mourn the loss of my favorite show), I’m really happy that I stumbled by here. What a great recipe & blog.

My results were delicious, but ugly. I couldn’t find my deep-dish pan & it being Thanksgiving I wasn’t going to try and find one. So I halved the crust recipe only to find my deep-dish pan when looking for a strainer. Yay more room for apples!

What to do, what to do about the crust though? I stretched it as thin as I could and miserly scrounged up all the scraps hoping to make a lattice. No dice, there was only for stripes going one direction. My pie looked like it had gone to jail.

But like I said, yummy. Thank you!
