That's right this month's Challenge is PIE. Looking through the past challenges I realized that most of those could be made into a pie of some sort. So lets think about the humble PIE (sorry couldn't resist) It can be sweet, or savory it can have a crust, or be crustless, it could fruit, veg, meat, fish, cheese and if it has a crust that could be made of anything too so really the sky's the limit isn't it?

I hope this is a good challenge topic and I'm looking forward to some creative entries so put on your thinking caps and good luck.

(now for the usual disclaimer: only entries made in the month of October 2015 are valid)

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Fresh rhubarb from the garden, the best crappy strawberries I could find, sugar substitute (I'm diabetic) Stevia Baking Blend, tapioca to bind and a splash of Mexican Vanilla.

For the topping, Rolled oats, flour, corn starch, butter, brown sugar substitute and Saigon Cinnamon.

Salted caramel apple pie adapted from Four & Twenty Blackbirds Pie shop in Brooklyn.

Chilled pie dough and the start of the caramel with sugar a little water and a stick of butter


It took some time to get it to a rich copper color before adding the cream and salt. I blind baked the dough and then piled on the apples and layers of caramel
