Title: Who has the best pies? Post by: Ed W on June 25, 2011, 04:48:52 pm She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed really likes her pies. She prefers sugar free or no sugar added, but if she's careful about her diet she can have regular ones.
She liked the ones at Marie Callendar's, but they're gone now. So...who has the best pies...and no, your mom doesn't count! Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: RecycleMichael on June 25, 2011, 05:31:24 pm They only make a few, but Merritt's makes a blueberry pie that inspires song.

I suspect they might even use the same bakery for the pies as the offerings were similar. Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: carltonplace on June 27, 2011, 10:13:53 am Why doesn't SWMBO make her own? There is a reason the saying goes "as easy as..." With a food processor making a crust takes less than a minute and it's only four ingredients: flour, fat (lard, shortening or butter), salt, tablespoons of ice water.
Filling is fresh fruit, sugar or substitute (honey works for some fruit types) and maybe corn starch (thickening agent), lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg depending on the fruit. Peaches are coming into season and what is better than peach pie or cobbler? Nothing that's what. Title: Re: Who has the best pies?

You can get some of Marie Callendar's pies in the freezer secition of your favorite Wallyworld to bake at home. Title: Re: Who has the best pies?

To me, that's tantamount to getting frozen Whitecastles at Wal-Mart. They are <> Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: bmuscotty on June 27, 2011, 12:50:48 pm IMO the Dutch Apple Pie is just as good as the ones sold in the restaurant.

Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: DTowner on June 27, 2011, 01:44:09 pm Nelson's has excellent pies.
Impressions has great pies - at least if they relocate. Also, Brownies always had great pie before the ownership change - I haven't been since then, so I don't know if that still holds true. Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: heironymouspasparagus on June 27, 2011, 02:03:26 pm Cheesecake Factory.
Brownie's Hamburgers (lemon and coconut cream pies are both excellent - only ones I have eaten. Never seem to get any further down the list.) Title: Re: Who has the best pies?

Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: heironymouspasparagus on June 27, 2011, 07:38:48 pm Black Jaxx in Oologah used to have an incredible pie chef. Can't find her anymore, though. Another sad thing about Black Jaxx going away! Great pies!!
Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: zstyles on June 28, 2011, 07:40:07 am Freckles has pies, I have never had them but everything else they do is great!
Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: sauerkraut on June 28, 2011, 10:31:58 am What about "T" Towne's own Bama Pies? The post above that mentioned Merritt's Blueberry Pie sounds good but I'd bet those pies are not cheap. The small cakes at Merritts cost as pretty penny- I'd hate to guess the cost of a BlueBerry pie at Merritt's. :o
Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: RecycleMichael on June 28, 2011, 11:01:36 am I'd hate to guess the cost of a BlueBerry pie at Merritt's. :o ten bucks Title: Re: Who has the best pies?

Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: Ed W on June 28, 2011, 02:45:48 pm ten bucks That's not bad, but we lost the Merrit's in Owasso. Mary was fond of the Marie Callendar pies when they were on sale because they were &7.50. We were eating at Freeman's Barbecue when the kids were very small. They served - and still serve - cobbler after the meal. Lyndsay turned to our waitress and said, "This is as good as Grandma's!" The waitress grinned and said, "I'll tell the woman who made it. She'll be tickled!" Pie...it's what's for dinner. Title: Re: Who has the best pies?

Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: GG on April 09, 2012, 07:53:47 pm Clanton's in Vinita, OK
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKpKuUVi7LE[/youtube] At the :40 mark the blonde you see drinking coffee is my sister. About the 4:25 mark they show home made apple pie. My in laws lived in Miami, OK. When my father in law would come to Tulsa for a visit he would always take old Route 66 and always stop for pie and coffee at Clanton's. My boys when they would go home with him looked forward to stopping at Clanton's for pie and ice cream on their way back to Miami. Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: heironymouspasparagus on April 09, 2012, 08:23:58 pm This is another thing the world lost when Black Jaxx went out of business. He had a lady making pies for him - wonderful! Home made.
Lemon and banana and chocolate and cherry were exceptional. (Didn't get to try apple) Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: Ibanez on April 13, 2012, 08:34:15 pm It's a bit of a drive

That would have been perfect. Title: Re: Who has the best pies? Post by: carltonplace on April 16, 2012, 09:17:56 am Not sure why people buy pies..."easy as pie" is not simply a colloquialism, its a fact.
Total time to prep a pie is about 20 minutes (includes the crust). Total bake time is less than an hour. You know what went in it. |
