Bill Yosses, the pastry chef at the White House, makes pie-on-demand so good that the president has dubbed the chef the "Crustmaster."
"I'm the dark side," Yosses tells the Associated Press, invoking a "Star Wars" reference. "They love our pies."
But what's his pie secret? Find out after the jump.
The secret to his pie crust is baking the bottom crust before adding the fruit and top crust, the AP reports. The pastry chef's crust recipe uses a blend of butter and lard for the fat in the dough.
The chef uses seasonal ingredients like rhubarb to make the president's favorite pies -- banana cream, huckleberry, fruit pies.
Yosses says it's not a problem to bake for a family that puts a focus on healthy eating, and he's happy to substitute maple syrup for refined sugar in cookies, the AP said.

I could give a flyin' rat's a** what the Obama's are serving up from the kitchen ... it only matters, as to what this president is dishing out against America: with a dash of disdain for the Constitution, a pinch-of-the-people who believe in saluting the flag, a pot-load of behind the scenes political antics that undermine the foundations of this nation, and unlimited amounts of narcissism, add the admission of any illegal alien that would giv-a-little-kick against those who stand for proper immigration, and top that off with truth that this man won’t disclose a legitimate birth record and his anti-Christian, muslimation of the United States and your goose will soon be cooked.
