Baking pumpkin pie is an absolute fave here in our household! Even more so when the kids get to pick out the pumpkins that will be going into their dessert. If I'm pressed for time, I used canned pumpkin, but using fresh pumpkins is even better!
My little one also loves to help me bake sugar cookies! From helping me with the {Halloween} cutouts...
...to helping me ice them - well, he usually eats most of the homemade icing before it gets to the actual cookies! ;)
Then of course there is baking homemade apple pie! There's nothing like the smell of apples & cinnamon in the air that signifies fall, at least with me. And I really need to share my no-fail, pie dough recipe in another post {I have a vegan & non-vegan version}.
I like to slowly simmer & caramelize my apples on the stove-top before putting them in the oven. And the key to a tasty apple pie is using two varieties of apples, usually one tart variety & one sweeter variety to give it a unique texture tastewise. For this particular pie, believe it or not, but there are 4 pounds worth of apples in here!
And when I'm baking any pie, I always use my Emile Henry Bakeware. I received the original pie dish 6 years ago as one of our wedding gifts. The ruffled pie dish like the one above is lovely to use if you are entertaining, as it makes for an excellent presentation.
For both my pumpkin & apple pies, I like to use my cookie cutters to make cutouts for decorating the edges. It also makes for a unique lattice appearance on the apple pie.
Well I hope you enjoyed the pictures of "Autumn in my Kitchen." This is my most favorite time of the year, and I look forward to what this new season has in store. Wishing everyone a most "Happy Fall!"
Jessie

It looks like you are a wonder at baking...everything, the pie especially, looks fabulous!! I love the Emilie Henry bakeware. I have a few bowls from Williams Sonoma.
You have inspired me to make an apple pie. Thanks for the tip on using two types of apples!
