Yesterday, January 24th, was National Pie Day, not to be confused with Pi Day.
So I pulled out Pie, by Ken Haedrich, for inspiration.
I discovered this encyclopedia of pies through Aunt Snow's Pie a Week Series.
Right as I was flipping through the book,
it magically pointed me to
Pennsylvania-Dutch Sour Cream Apple Pie.
It was an excellent choice.
I could hardly wait!
But I had to, until it cooled and
Ernest got home from piano lessons.
It was divine. I might have posted on Facebook that it was the best pie I ever made.
Here's the recipe. I made 2 small changes.
Because the notes said the apples would stay firm,
I precooked them 8-10 minutes in the microwave.
And I substituted oatmeal for the walnut in the topping
because Frank is not fond of nuts.
And here's my breakfast!

Fabulous looking pie.
We make a sour cream Apple as you know. Mark likes it frozen. He is trying to figure out how to get a stick in each slice and then just pull them out and eat from the freezer. He is the only person I know who likes cold pie. The colder the better.
Happy pie day.
I cannot get enough of this pie. I might have to make it myself!
hailing originally from Pa, I am quite a fan and connoisseur of that particular pie! Pies are one thing that I am not great at, maybe this book will help. I'm gonna look into it.
I am WITH YA there, pie for breakfast! I make a gluten-free version of this, sometimes with berries: rice flour crust, topped with nut crumble, mmmm :)
It is a great pie cookbook!
I'm un-American in my distaste for fruit pies. However, this looks AWESOME. Congrats on a job well done!
Thanks for contributing to my on going cookbook addiction. I can see I'll need to add this one to the list! That pie looks amazing!
That is a gorgeous-looking pie. How did it escape my notice that Jan 24 is Pie Day? Pie for breakfast is the best breakfast ever.
That looks like a must try.
