If you're one of those people who perks up when co-workers bring pie to work, or if you're the one always bringing the pie and want to jazz things up a bit, the American Pie Council has a Web site you might find particularly suited to your taste. You'll find more than a baker's dozen of National Pie Championship-winning recipes, including the 2008 winner in the apple pie category, Apple Yum Crumb Pie.
Other recipes include the California Mudslide Pie (the 2008 winner in the classic chocolate category), Buckeye Pie (2008 winner in the peanut butter category that features brownie mix, Philadelphia cream cheese and peanut butter) and the Razzle Dazzle Splenda Pie, made without sugar, which won in this year's Splenda category. Onion lovers can try the Vidalia Onion Pie.
These and several other recipes are free to browse. Those who are more pie-minded can become a member and swap recipes and gain greater access to pie info from The American Pie Council, which describes itself as the only organization committed to preserving America's pie heritage and designed to raise awareness, enjoyment and consumption of pies. Sweet!
