You need to post some pictures. That always helps in a food thread.

You also need to keep in mind that it is mostly guys here. It is our function to eat pie. Also to preside over the making and eating of pie. That doesn't necessarily mean any of us know how to actually make a pie.

This thread is funny. I have typed and then deleted at least 4 comments, and I've decided I'm going to leave it at that.

Let the record reflect that at no point in this thread prior to this post have I referenced or talked about any kind of pie.

I have not made this pie, but I have been meaning to ever since I saw it featured on an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay.

The actual recipe has not been made public, but I've been meaning to make an attempt to adapt my mom's apple pie recipe to try it out. Apparently it has two different crusts: a lard-based bottom crust, and a sugar-cookie type top layer. Also, I remember something about adding tapioca flour to the apples to get the right consistency of the filling. I'll have to re-watch the episode when I finally get around to doing it.
