For more ideas, visit www.pillsbury.com/pie, or become a fan and share your pie-making stories, photos or tips at www.facebook.com/lovethepie.



Apples Ripe for Baking

Some apple varieties are just made for pie baking; those with a firm texture and that hold their form under heat are best. Pillsbury test kitchen experts cite Golden Delicious apples as particularly suited for use in pies. Other favorites include Cameo, Cortland, Granny Smith, Idared, Jonathan, Newtown Pippin, Pink Lady and Rome Beauty. Ask the staff at your local orchard, farmers market or grocery store which types they recommend for pies.
