Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Pie is probably one of America's favorite desserts. The question is what is America's favorite kind of pie?Michael Park over at Epicurious.com gives us some answers. He revealed a pie poll from the makers of Mrs. Smiths, Schwans Consumer Brands North America. The poll asked participants to name their three favorite pies. Which one came in first, you ask? Well, it was apple of course! Turns out it was the overwhelming favorite.
I was personally surprised that Key lime pie was at the bottom of the list. But I guess with so many kinds of pie out there, it's a measure of the popularity of key lime pie that it made the list at all. So how about it? What's your favorite kind of pie?

And apple is way down there, although I've had some good ones. Peach makes no sense at all; peaches are too good to can and put in pies.

Like with a fresh strawberry pie, the freshly ripe peaches are cut into halves and lightly glazed (very lightly -- try to avoid too much goop, and served open in a baked crust, with whipped cream. That is a sublime summer treat, without ruining the peach.

It must be an Indiana thing, but it consists of sugar, cream, eggs, and a sprinkle of nutmeg on top, all baked together. Best when served cold and mostly solid.
My second favorite pie I've only ever had once. It was called Ricotta Pie, and I got it from Mike's Pastries in Boston's North End. It was simply divine. I've tried recreating it, but have yet to find quite the right recipe.
