Peace of Pie: Pumpkin Apple Pecan Thanksgiving Pie for Serious Eats
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 
Pumpkin? Apple? Pecan? Why choose just one pie when you can have all three...at once?
For this week's pie entry on Serious Eats, I bravely took on the task of testing out different ways of combining these classic pie recipes: in one pie, I layered the fillings one on top of the other; in another, I mixed all of the fillings together into one sweet slurry; and in the final (and--spoiler--best tasting) one I baked them in individual compartments. As it turns out, the peace-sign pie tasted the best. So why bother going to the trouble of baking them together? While baking in the same pie crust, each flavor gets a boost from being baked with the others--it lends a certain je ne sais quoi to the pie. 
Check out the full experiment, plus recipe, here.

Wow how inventive! At least now I don't have to choose which pie I want to make :)
I was about to ask how you divided everything and them saw your super high tech dividers :)
I love your idea. I am of the people who can never choose between one thing and another so you just made my day!
You crafty pie lady, you. How fun!
You should call it the "Peace" pie! It's got the cool peace symbol thing going for it, plus, it'll keep the peace among those who fight over which flavor of pie that you'll make! Great idea! I like all the flavors =)
This is brilliant! If you could downsize them, and serve one at every place setting... that would be world peace at the Thanksgiving table!
That peace pie is AWESOME & perfect for all the picky eaters at the table.
Hate to be a mood-killer, but that's a Mercedes sign, not a peace symbol...
Aww, and I was so hoping the layered pie would work out (a la Cookie-Cake-Pie, which I just might make for Thanksgiving!). Great idea though, especially for small gatherings.
If you want a layered pie, I have a recipe for pumpkin pecan at http://piechef.com/recipes/pumpkin_pecan.html
Haven't figured out how to work the apples in, but I love the pumpkin pecan combo!
