A "One" and a "Three"

According to this year's Thanksgiving issue of Martha Stewart Living, that's what these two recipes are: A one- for easy or beginner, and a three- for difficult or advanced. The pie shown above is the three.

It's an apple blackberry pie with a leaf cut-out top crust. It smells so good and I'm sure it's going to taste heavenly. You know how I know this? Because the way you tell when it's done is when it starts to bubble out of the top. Need I say more? Luke's words were, "Wow, that's some pie."

And here's the "one": a standard classic pumpkin pie with a shortbread crust. Quick and simple, and always sure to be a hit.

Well, needless to say, with all these tempting pies sitting around, we needed a little something to tie us over until tomorrow, so I took the leftover pie dough and cut out these little apple bites, sprinkled them with sanding sugar and popped them in the oven for a little late night snack. Happy Thanksgiving all!
