I make pies for friends and family. It's a really small-small word of mouth operation. I don't have enough time to advertise or I know I'd get overwhelmed.
This is me after making 13 or 14 pie crusts from scratch.

The famous pecan pie. The secret is to not as much syrup mixture as it calls for. Save 1/4 cup or so, so that the syrup doesn't boil over onto your cookie sheet. Always use a pie crust cover to protect your crust from burning and spray it with nonstick spray so it won't stick to the cover.
I don't make my pie 45 minutes like it says. I set the timer for 35 minutes and let the syrup harden. If it doesn't look like it will, I put it back in the oven to let it bake more.
This Thanksgiving, I tried different crust techniques. With this, I braided the crust and joined them together.
This was a cherry pie for Christmas. I made the top crust and decorated it with snowflakes.
