CHAPTER SIX

SWEET, SWEET PIES

There’s something homely and timeless about apple pie. Who doesn’t love a steaming hot apple pie with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream melting on top, or a dollop of thickened cream?

Starring apples, rhubarb, blackberries and quince, the pies in this chapter are glorious at the height of autumn when the weather turns cool, but at other times of year you can, of course, experiment with other seasonal fruits.
