Well, I did it, I made my very first pie this past weekend and it turned out beautifully!
I had originally bought a few cans of pumpkin puree to make the pumpkin snickerdoodles with and noticed that there was a recipe for a pumpkin pie on the back so I think that may have been what triggered my interest even more (besides the gorgeous pie dish that I had been spying for a while now). I had prepared myself to be kind of scared as I went through the process but amazingly enough it was so simple! The ingredients were not out of this world and the whole prep time really only took about 10 minutes. I picked up some pie crusts at the store that are all rolled out and ready to be put in and formed to the dish so that was blissfully simple too. The packages come with two to a box so I was able to use one for my crust and the other one to cut out the shapes with my fun pie crust cutters I also got at Williams Sonoma.

I have plans to make about 6 more pies for Thanksgiving festivities and then maybe a few more for Christmas. I have to admit that I am so proud of myself, I truly thought pies were only for the "real" bakers of the world and I am living proof that they are not!
