Baking is part of my creative process. After the request of several friends (and b/c we are all in quarantine - so why not?!) I have started to film my process - RAW. Meaning with sweats, no make up, mistakes, U-turns - all of it!
This was one of those pies I decided I needed a recipe for…until I was actually looking at the recipe. So, of course, I took this my own direction – and, as what happens sometimes when I do that, a new favorite was birthed.
This is a great pie for those who don’t like things to be too sweet. It’s a little savory and a little sweet, with a kick of citrus. And - it's one of my favorite pies TO DATE! Follow along below with me as I take a recipe and make it my own!
Enjoy!
