Free Pie

I just found out that I missed a trailer giving out free pie on a trip across the country to help promote the ABC show Pushing Daisies. Click here for more info. Incase you miss your chance for free pie they sent me recipes to make their pies and cobblers at home.

Ned’s Apple Pie

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
8 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add Water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Ned’s Georgia Peach Cobbler

Combine fruit with sugar in a bowl; set aside. Put butter in an 11x8x2 ½ inch baking dish. Place in 350 degree oven to melt butter. Butter should be bubbly not brown.

The show looks bad, but I'm in for the free pie.

I love your blog! If you're interested, there's a great site that's going to start up soon, and it's going to have information on all things culinary. Check it out: www.behindtheburner.com.

In response to Kevin's comment: The show is one of the better shows currently on tv. Yes, it's very cute, but the writing and the characters are very well done.

Thanks for the recipes!
