Types of Pies
So many types of pie. And, pies don't even have to be in a pie pan or pie plate to be considered a pie. According to Wiki, "A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients. Sweet pies may be filled with fruit (as in an apple pie), nuts (pecan pie), brown sugar (sugar pie) or sweetened vegetables (rhubarb pie). Pies are defined by their crusts."
Apple Pie
Not sure about you, but according to some pie experts, the apple pie ranks as the best most popular pie in America. Yes, that's about as American as 'apple pie'!
Apple Galette
Galettes. What are galettes. Nothing complicated here. The difference between a pie and a galette is that a galette is a round pastry, fruit filled and it's baked on a baking sheet. The sides of the dough, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches, are wrapped up and around the fruit.
Apple Slab Pie
Now, an apple slab pie, well, that's a rectangular shape and the slices are cut from that. It usually can feed quite a few. And, it can be baked on a cookie sheet too or a rectangular baking dish.
