And I will truly enjoy watching him truly enjoy the filling.
And then I will promptly eat his crust.
Oh yes ... continuing in my Martha ways I will give you a very Helpful Hint about preparing a flaky pie crust. After you have rolled it out and put it in the pie plate and crimped it like a pro ... stick in in your (self-defrosting) freezer while you prepare the filling. The very purpose of such a freezer is to suck moisture out of the air. Because it sucks some moisture out of your crust, you can add a little more water while preparing it and make it much easier to roll out.
Because ... I love patchwork quilts, but I really hate a patchwork crust.
How about you?

Good tip! I, too, love patchwork but not in my pie crusts. At least not for looking at.....as when it comes to eating pie crust, I will eat it no matter what the shape or design! :-)
I'm so very impressed with your Martha inspired pie! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Love the sweet lil' girlie and I didnt know you were such an accomplished baker! I'll take 2 pumpkin and 1 chocolate creme -stat!
ooo i love what you did with the extra pie crust! hope you saved me a piece :)
Tasted as good as it looks.
But you forgot to mention that Miss Dub's daddy (yup, her dad) make a big apple pie out of the apples that Miss Dub didn't eat at the orchard. This simplehappyhome thing even jumps blood lines to include the in laws (we'll save the Thanksgiving in Spain saga of the d-i-l for another comment, but Martha would have been proud of her, too).
I love the leaves on top, and I love the blue pie plate! Such a nice contrast to the orange. Hooray for pumpkin pie and hooray for fall!
And isn't it great we can all measure our homemaking against the model of an ex-felon--special crafts like insider framing. Maybe we can look forward to Food Channel or HGTV offerings like Michael Millken and Jeff Skilling with Cooking the Books or the AIG Spa Retreats for Free Show.
Sorry couldn't resist.
It's hard to remember what I was going to say after reading the ex-felon comments above. I'm laughing too much. Right...your pie is gorgeous. I also cut leftover crust with a turkey cookie cutter, bake and put on the top of our pumpkin pies.
Ugh, I never commented on this, and now I've forgotten what I was going to say. (Probably something inconsequential.)
But I like pumpkin pie and I love Miss Dub.
