I do,  I love to bake,  not all the time do I feel the best though so sometimes I cheat and buy canned pie filling.  I do however grow pumpkin, cook that and make my pumpkin puree and from that make my own pumpkin pies.  Awesome out of this world pies.  :)  Happy Baking!!!!!

I found it best for me to buy my pies due to the fact that I cant get the crust right. It constantly falls apart.

I bake most of my pies from scratch, I have never been able to get my lemon meringue pie right though.

I don't bake my own pies, but I do make all my kids birthday cakes. Whatever they want I make it. Sometimes they come out great, and sometimes you can tell I am a amatuer.

Yes, I bake my own - apple & pumpkin. I'm not much of a fan of pumpkin, but hubby loves it.

No I do not bake my own pies.  Usually for Thanksgiving & Christmas my mom still bakes the
traditional pumpkin pie.

I will buy an apple pie at the store.  Most of them are pretty good and I usually just don't have
the time to bake one from scratch.

My favorite pie from scratch is Apple pie cookied in a brown paper bag.

- Me too

I love to bake.  But I also love to eat what I bake.  Since my hubby and I started this healthy eating/living lifestyle I've had to remit myself from delving into my baking modes.  I think this holiday season will be a challenge.  I'm hoping to tweak some recipe's so we can still have pumpkin pie over Thanksgiving.  Truvia has been a big help in place of sugar but boy is it pricey.  Oh man, I bought 2 bags of apples to make an apple pie with it and before I knew it everyone ate the apples.  So there went my attempt at tweaking a recipe so far.

I can bake a really nice pie, but I haven't done so for a long time.  Too many people on restricted calories :( it seems.  So if we have desserts around the house, I end up eating more than my fair share or throwing it out.

Yes, I'm a man who bakes desserts.  I started out as the typical guy who could only cook using a microwave, grill, or smoker.  Later I tried baking and realized I wasn't bad at it, in fact I make desserts on holidays because relatives like my desserts.  This Christmas I'm thinking of trying a coconut rum cake.  Pies I mostly bake include sweet potato, buttermilk, and cheesecake (technically it can be considered a pie).

I don't make my own pies.  I usually just get frozen.  Those are wonderful.  I like the homemade crust very much
but the fruit is usually too hard or thick in the homemade pies.  We even bought the pies at the deli once just to try, thinking
they would be better than frozen, but nope.  I guess its just what you get used to.

I used to bake my own pies but the last few years I've just bought the frozen ones.  One of these days I'm going to make a lemon meringue pie though as I have a really good recipe for it.

No. Unfortunately, I can't cook. I do help my granmda bake pies when she wants to make them, so I guess that's a yes. Lol.

I so miss my Granny's homemade chocolate pies.  She did it all from scratch and made it seem effortless.  I have attempted the chocolate pie from memory but it did not come out so well.  I would love a great chocolate pie recipe if anyone has one handy they don't mind sharing.  I remember it was simple and she cooked the filling on top of the stove.  But I just can't remember enough . . . I made a real mess of it.  I do pretty good with meringue but not the filling. As my life gets a little simpler, I look forward to diving into baking from scratch more often.

I usually buy pies! I love pies! The stores seem to bake them very good and a lot less time to eat them too!  :P

I much rather have a homemade pie than one from the store.

I like crisps better than pies as I don't care much for pie crust. I make crisps from scratch once in awhile.

I have never baked my own pie, but I absolutely love pie! Maybe I will try to make my own pie this holiday season, that would be fun :)

Sure do.  My favorite is a mixed berry - cherries, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and strawberry with an apple thrown in to make a little crunch.

I like baking apple pie, especially around this time of year. One apple pie I baked had cream cheese in it and had a crumb topping. So good!

 When i was a kid, my moms use to make pies all the time. When i grew up and got out on my own,I now get my pies ready made. You right, they do taste better home made.

No rarely do I ever have enough time to make my own pies.  I don't count opening a can of pie filling the same as truly making everything from scratch so I definitley would have to say NO!!  Just can't beat the taste of truly homeade fruit pie from scratch.

Yes I make my own pies.  Right now I am making fried peach pies.  I have already made over 300 since last Saturday.  I put them in freezer and I am getting ready to set up at a craft show in a couple of weeks.  Fried pies always sell good at them.  I have also made peanut butter candy to sell also.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I love making pies. My oven broke during Thanksgiving cook a thon and hasn't been fixed yet.  I promised the repairman a mixed berry pie if he would fix it.  It is next on the honey do list!

I love to bake everything, all of it has turned out good, the one thing about it , is that it is cheaper and you can control what is put in them, But now that there are just the 2 of us i have had to cut down a lot, Hubby like them too much. I also usually bake cookies with peanut butter and honey in them  cuts out the sugar that he doesn't need anymore.
