As the colder weather starts to settle in, a warm slice of pie complements the hearty comfort food we crave. So many special occasions—from birthdays to weddings and graduations—call for a beautifully decorated cake. Why not give pie a bigger seat at the table this season? Grab a delicious pie from one of our favorite local pie, pastry and dessert shops in the Washington, DC area – it’s a great way to support local business and share some love to those we care about.
Whether you favor apple, pumpkin, or pecan, now is also a great time to try your hand at baking. McEnearney Associates President, Maureen McEnearney Dunn, particularly likes the Black Bottom Pie recipe from the Joy of Cooking. If you are intimidated by the thought of baking your own crust, the Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Pie Crusts make the baking process a little less daunting.
