In the summer, we welcome fresh fruit pies like berry and peach, or we may crave cool, creamy icebox pies, including lemon, Key lime, banana, or coconut cream, to beat the summer heat. January’s chill may call for a savory chicken pot pie but come Valentine’s Day we may want to treat ourselves and loved ones to a decadent chocolate pie. Pie can also help us mark the passing of time. A seasonal food class could be taught simply based on what we fill our pie crust with throughout the year. Atlantic beach pie with its saltine crust and creamy lemon filling is popular in the summer on the East Coast where it was invented, but here in our neck of the woods, you’d be more apt to find a gooseberry, pawpaw, persimmon, or a black-walnut Karo pie. It also helps us identify who we are, where we live and what we grow. The crust is equally versatile, made from cookies, crackers, or flaky pastry made from whatever flour and animal fat you have on hand. A humble crust made from simple ingredients can be filled with a meaty, savory filling just as successfully as it can be filled with sweet fruit or custardy filling. There is something that feels simultaneously limitless and extremely grounded about pie. Pie by comparison is light, with the crust being the sweet and salty delivery vehicle that holds the delicious filling until you can get a bite into your mouth. It isn’t finicky like cake, which can be either too dry or too dense and easily overwhelmed by frosting. In Nora Ephron’s 1996 movie, Michael, actress Andie MacDowell’s character, Dorothy, sings the “pie song,” at the request of Michael the Archangel, played by John Travolta, and just like that, one of the most popular earworms about pie was born. I’ll come to your place every day if you’ve got ’em. Nothing tastes better, wet, salty, and dry,Īpple and pumpkin and mince and black bottom, Each pie has a story of it's own creation from start to finish.Pie created by Kristin Brumm, owner of Pie Goddess. We source the best ingredients we can grow or on our farm and work with local producers to make our pies. We follow my grandmothers baking techniques for each pie and philosophy with each flavor. We took the leap of faith and moved our picnic table into an empty store and purchased an oven with our Thanksgiving profits. With a phone book of pie "regulars” we managed to bake and deliver over 250 pies that Thanksgiving. That didn't stop us or our customers, who smelled their way right to the doorstep of our house. An influx of pie customers slowing down traffic lead us to getting kicked off the road in front of our farm. I hopped in the car with the kids and went to the local orchard to pick as much fruit as we could, found a neighbor who just started making her own butter, brought it all back, and baked into the evening. We took to the side of the road with 15 apple pies, a picnic table, and some painted signs we made saying “Turn Back For Pie.” We sold out of pies in the first hour. In 2008 the financial crisis put our horse farm out of business.
I left behind a career in pharmaceuticals to pursue horse rehabilitation in 2005. We can create comfort simply off what is available to us, wherever we may be. Our fruit comes from farms in the Hudson Valley. Our flour is grown and milled right here in New York. Our butter comes from grass-fed cows in the Catskills. We believe everything in out pies should be wholesome and delicious.
The care and love of each ingredient that goes into our pies evoke from the same feelings when you have your first bite. Living in the beautiful Warwick Valley of New York, we did not have to travel far to source the best local ingredients for our pies, from local farms and from our own farm.
She loved to collect and read recipe books. My grandmother's perspective on baking techniques came from a lifetime of making everything from scratch. My grandmother Fowler instilled in me that the beautiful, tasteful, comforting things in life are created from simple, quality ingredients. Our heirloom baking techniques and recipes come from my grandmother (who lived to be 103!). We are a pie bakery that wants to solve the problem for the pie connoisseur who's looking for quality home made comfort food. Pie has always been a staple comfort food in our home.
