Krista G. representing Lucky Leaf® gave me two full-size cans of Lucky Leaf® Apple Pie Filling and Strawberry Pie Filling as well as a Lucky Leaf® cook book—which contains contest-winning recipes that were tested and approved by the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen. She asked me to test the recipes out in my own kitchen, and tell her (and others) what I thought.
Well, I thought of something much more interesting than just my opinion. I asked her if she would donate extra cans and cook books for a pie kit giveaway. Krista responded with a most generous, "YES!" She mailed TWO BOXES, each filled with two cans of Lucky Leaf® Pie Filling, the Lucky Leaf® cook book, a can-opener and a Fire-King glass pie plate. WOO HOO!!! THANK YOU KRISTA! I'm throwing in a Must Have Tool for pie baking, a Super Pie Crust Shield that fits 9.5-inch and 10-inch pies AND a pie keeper and carrier! The pie carrier is just what we need to haul our beautiful pie to that special occasion without it getting damaged on the way.
I have two Simple Pie Kits to giveaway to two lucky Simple Daily Recipes readers. Does that make sense? One kit per winner.
I'll let you know in another post what I thought of the taste of Lucky Leaf® Apple Pie Filling. I'm planning to bake the Blueberry Gallette recipe in the Lucky Leaf cook book on page 17, but substitute the blueberry filling for the apple filling they sent me. I'll call it Apple Gallette. I'm totally curious to try it. I mean, really, apples held in a flaky pie crust bowl with whipped vanilla cream on top. Oh yea, my mouth is watering.
This giveaway closed November 28, 2009.
Jo of Georgia, and Rebecca of South Carolina won both pie kits.
I love to bake and apple cheddar pies are my most favorite
I have always wanted to taste an Apple Cheddar pie. Do you bake them? I would love to try your recipe if you have one, Karen.
I really enjoy making pies, although I don’t make them as often as I would like to….mainly because I’d probably eat it all myself! What a yummy comfort food! I also enjoy making my own filling and crusts. I come from a long line of pie makers (bakers in general!), so I have to keep it going….
Debbie, you are an excellent baker! I wish you had more time to make us all fat on your home cooking.
For anyone else looking on, Debbie Cawthon is the “Aunt Deb” from the famous Quick Italian Cream Cake recipe. Aunt Deb gave me my first cookbook, and I still have it. When I was 8 years old, she made me fall in love with her using her home baked sugar cookies. She was looking to marry my Uncle Chuck and used her cookies to persuade me. ;D 32 years later, she’s winning over my kiddos with the same sugar cookies.
