Pies & Coffee

November 25, 2014 by Audra 68 Comments

PieCollage

Thanksgiving is really really almost here. And I have something for all you Procrasti-bakers- (like me, who still doesn’t have her pie menu set in stone)- a quick roundup of lots of Pie-Inspiration for Turkey Day. You all know how much I love pies so a quick recap is in order.

Now if you give a girl a slice of pie, she’s likely going to want  a cup of coffee to go with it. As much as morning coffee is essential, I sure do enjoy an unsweetened coffee with dessert. The sweet flavors seem so much better and almost enhanced by the bitter coffee flavor. Andy is also a coffee guy, but he likes his coffee super strong an I prefer mine weaker with lots of cream. (no sugar.)icoffee

I got to try my first “Single Cup Coffee Brewer” last week, the new iCoffee Single Serve, and it is so incredibly cool. I know this technology has been around for awhile but the convenience of making a cup of coffee is now so easy I find myself popping the little k-Cups in several times a day! What makes the iCoffee Single Serve different from some others it actually has a special needle that spins, steams and stirs the coffee inside the cup giving it a french press effect. It’s compatible with all the brands of k-cups which makes choosing my flavor every morning super fun. (I’ll take the fun flavors and leave the classics to Andy!) You can choose how strong you want your cup to be which is a huge lifesaver in my household.

One lucky reader is gonna get to try this awesome new coffee maker for themselves because I’m giving one away today! It would make a wonderful Christmas gift don’t you think? Fill out the widget below to enter!

And for the pies- (in the order of the collage above)

Brown Sugar Pumpkin Pie

Lattice-Topped Cranberry Blackberry Pie

Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Cranberry Meringue Pie

Deep Dish Sour Cream Apple Pie

Toasted Coconut Caramel Cream Pie

Salty Honey Pie

Brown Butter Apple Custard Pie

Blackberry Cranberry Crisp Pie

Happy Thanksgiving!! I’m taking a few days off but will be back early next week!

    We are spending Thanksgiving proper with my in-laws, who are fabulous but have very specific ideas about pie configuration and where they should be bought from, which has scuttled my baking plans for tomorrow. But, not to be deterred, I’ll be making caramel-spiked pumpkin and pecan pies for our little family as soon as we return home this weekend! Everybody wins! And coffee is an obvious yes. Single cup brewer would be awesome because I’m drinking mostly decaf right now – baby on board!

    I’ve made two each of egg custard and pumpkin pies. My sister is making apple and pecan pies. For my son-in-law and dad, I had to make my famous pumpkin bundt cake with pumpkin icing drizzled over it. Then tomorrow on turkey day, I’m making a 5 quart freezer of my homemade apple butter ice cream to use on top of some of the pies or just to eat separately. We’ll also have peanut butter balls and Oreo cookie balls made by my niece. We love our sweets, though I have made sugar-free versions of several of the pies and the ice cream ahead of time for those in the family who are diabetic. It’s going to be a great day! Yes, I love coffee with my pie, though it must be decaf as I suffer from migraines if I have caffeine. The single cup serve would make it so nice for everyone to have the kind and flavors they each prefer!

    Your lattice work on pie #2 is outstanding. And yes, I not only drink espresso with pie, but while making pies, too, because this is a task I must be well caffeinated to undertake.

She makes the best crust I’ve ever had, and I’ve loved trying to do as well as she does for 30 years now. I love Pumpkin and Coconut Cream, my husband Pecan and My Chocolate Chip Pie and my boys , well they love them. Truth be told we haven’t met pie we didn’t like.. lol.
