Pie is a metaphor for life. Work it, let it rest, hydrate, work it and fill it. Bake it slowly, let it rest. It's better when it's imperfect. Don't worry about how it looks, worry about how it tastes inside.
Finally got around to making your little Eggplant Parm today. Officially my favorite Eggplant Parmesan ever. Toasting the panko, roasting the eggplant a genius move. I will rest up and make this pie later, throwing in a big handful of blueberries with the peaches. You are wearing me out with all these wonderful recipes. Your repartee makes it relatable and fun!
I made the pie, it is currently cooling for the long 6-8 hours, but it looks so good just like yours. I have made a bunch of your recipes and I am always so happy with how they turn out. Thank you for inspiring some one who isn't much of a cook, to cook.
The ode to imperfections in this video is an absolute vibe that I appreciate (as a cook who flies by the seat of her pants and it always turns out!). Thank you.
I’m about to leave my farm after 22 years. Basically I created the cover of “Cottage Living”, a dreamy oasis with anything you’d want in a pie. The show stopper has been Rhubarb/Strawberry. Guests close their eyes and float to heaven. I serve it with fresh whipped cream, lightly whipped. Ah memories!
From a pastry klutz: this is so good in so many ways, you probably don't even realize. First is about letting the pastry dough be shaggy and not uniformly moist at its first stage before resting. Beginners and amateurs do NOT instinctively know that. For more years than you are old, I ruined pie dough by thinking it had to be all moist and smooth as soon as the flour, butter and water were joined. I overworked it to a tough, cardboardy thing and never understood why until I had an epiphany reading a pastry cookbook. But no one made it as clear as it is here! Second, you sneak in so many lessons in food and food science without being all didactic; its all casual and fun. The video itself has a great sense of humor with the visual jokes and puns -- makes you not realize you're being instructed -- in a good way. The only one thing I, as a rank amateur and still trial and error baker: no need to use aluminum foil to protect your baking sheet. It's such an environmentally destructive thing, from mining to manufacturing to transporting to waste. If possible use something else. Silicone baking mats are reusable thousands of times and so easily cleaned. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF IT.
I seriously loved hearing the ingredient alternatives you suggested and why you prefer using your hands over machines (I probably wont ever buy a stand mixer because I love using my hands anyway!). Your videos not only give me enough information to try everything with accessible ingredients, but I feel adventurous enough to mix and match how I see fit. Thank you so much!
Just in case anyone's wondering, I used salted butter and just eliminated all the salt she added to the dough, and it tasted like the best piecrust I've ever tasted. Costco only had salted, never tried making it with unsalted but I think just leaving out the added salt gets you where you need to be salinity-wise.
I learnt pie making from watching my father...apple pie with nutmeg and cinnamon and beef dripping instead of butter. he would make it Sunday morning and we would have it for supper with fresh whipped cream. Thank you for your recipe. I've made the pastry already: it's resting in the fridge as I write ( thought I'd make it before I commented ;-) So, I love your style but more than that I love the way you show and explain, taking time and your no nonsense approach to making 'keeping it real'; as my daughter is want to say. I've shared this with her. Nice to see your new space, I no longer need to feel 'squished in' for you.
I love watching you so much! I just got done with a surgery, and I’m recovering, and watching your videos makes me so happy. I love your personality and how you explain things, most cooks are serious, but you’re really funny!!❤️❤️
it is not peach season here in Brazil (winter) and I want this pie so much! Love that the crust can be used in both sweet and savory versions. Cheese/egg/kale sounds delish!
Ok. I have the peaches, made the crust last night....pie day! I actually have made lots of pie, its my desert of choice, but this will be my first peach. Thank you for your wonderful videos
I made it , exactly like you, it is beautiful, and I will say, one of the best crusts I have ever worked with. It rolled out beautiful. Having friends tonight to eat it. With ice cream of course
I live in Portland OR and just about lost my mind when you declared that you "love the RoundBoys"...thought you said, "Proud Boys"! Thank you for clarity. So enjoy your Home Movies. Congrats on new apt.
Same here, I live in Thailand and it is almost impossible to keep the pie dough cold. I have to shuffle it in and out of the freezer. The first time I made pie, the pie dough melted on the work surface and it kept sticking no matter how much flour I put. Now I roll my pie dough between sheets of wax paper, which allows me to easily transfer it into the fridge. What method do you use for rolling pie dough in the Dominican Republic ?
My grandmother makes pies and i love them. She does pies with spinach, olives and tuna, pies with ricotta and peas, pies with pumpkin and rice and green onions. I love them so much but i barely visit her because of my anxiety :(
That pie looks so good! To be honest, I have never made peach pie. Mostly Apple and Cherry, but I am definitely going to make this one. You make everything look easy, fun and scrumptious. 🍴😋
when I make pie crusts i have extreme anxiety leading up to and throughout the whole process worried if im messing it up. i recently got a food processor hoping itll make it less stressful. I needed this video and your approach to reset my whole approach!!! Thank you
This looks amazing! I really love pie baking(I think the process is really soothing). This video taught me so cool things, especially making the slurry in the bowl before adding in the fruit. One less bowl to wash is genius and I am also for sure going to add honey to the next peach pie I make. And peaches are my all time favourite pie filling. I also love a strawberry rhubarb pie.
Omg! There are different types of stone fruit…free stone and cling! I thought I was going crazy that I couldn’t twist them apart anymore! Ahh, thank you! Pie looks delicious and can’t wait to make :)
ive never made a pie, i dont even like pie, and its been a week since i watched this video but i want to try making this and see how i do, so i bought some local peaches today!! will update on how it goes. Alison you have inspired me to making so many new and different things so thankyou for that :)
Pretty dress ! are you enjoying your new flat with all the space ? Awesome Pie vid ty :D will be making apple and pear pie this weekend, have a fab rest of your day
Not verbatim, but Occam's razor is, when faced with two competing ideas, the simplest explanation is usually correct. It has nothing to do with obviousness, but simplicity, which obviously applies to the point you were making, simple pie crust=best pie crust. It's early and I'm just being pedantic.
Occam's razor, Ockham's razor, Ocham's razor (Latin: novacula Occami), or the principle of parsimony or law of parsimony (Latin: lex parsimoniae) is the problem-solving principle that "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity",[1][2] sometimes inaccurately paraphrased as "the simplest explanation is usually the best one." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor The OP's interpretation of this is incorrect. Simplicity is not better. Better is better. A pie crust does not have to be simple to be best, nor complex. It just has to be best. And then enters in to by what metrics are we measuring pie crust quality? Pedantic, for anyone interested, is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter. My post is pedantic. OP's was not.
Loved this. Never had much success with pies....will definitely give this a try. P.S. I, too, shoved everything into cabinets from my last move....still reorganizing after 2 years! It's fine....nobody can see it...
Made this yesterday. The crust was amazing, but the ginger was too strong and made the filling taste a bit funky. My peaches were naturally pretty sweet but i felt like this could've used more sugar (and I dont like anything to be overly sweet). Finally, the filling was just a tad bit soupy. I think another TBSP of cornstarch would’ve helped a little. Will definitely use the crust recipe again.
Excellent video as always. Not the world's biggest peach fan (except for Bellini's) but would definitely try this. Mentions songs by Bieber and 112 but forgets most famous song ever about Peaches: (ahem) "Moving to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches, moving to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches." Of course bonus points for anyone who knows "Apple, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" as well. Pumpkin or Apple
@@alisoneroman Maybe I can just tell them about it when I finish? Like, I really want you all to be a part of this experience, so listen to how delicious this pie was. I think it could work.
Dear Alison, my girlfriend and I love watching your videos, because we love your easy going style and we also have a major crush on you 😄 We are aware that you aren't a part of the LGBTQ+ community, but we're still here, still fangirling each and every time 😊 Much love from Montréal 🇨🇦
Thank you for watching and congratulations on graduating from Pie 101! What’s your favorite pie filling?
My dad's strawberry rhubarb pie and his banana cream pie.
fried chicken + strawberry + sambal
cherry!
Rhubarb with custard!! 😋
I love a nectarine and blackberry pie!
Pie is a metaphor for life. Work it, let it rest, hydrate, work it and fill it. Bake it slowly, let it rest. It's better when it's imperfect. Don't worry about how it looks, worry about how it tastes inside.
A whole word 🙏🏽🙇🏽♂️
Amen to this
So poetic
words of wisdom

There is no way I will make pie this year, but I still watched this whole 30 minute video and loved it- so entertaining !

I love how you’re so no fuss towards cooking/baking, Alison!
I respect Alison's commitment to cooking with rings.

Your videos not only give me enough information to try everything with accessible ingredients, but I feel adventurous enough to mix and match how I see fit. Thank you so much!
that is such a nice compliment! thank you so much!
Drinking my morning tea, I laughed and almost did a 'spit take' at the boiled egg! Thank for keeping things imperfect and real.
I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE SWEDISH ”ANJOVIS”! It really made my day.
Also; gorgeous pies
Love always Daniel 🇸🇪🇸🇪
I just made a peach pie yesterday and I'm eating it while watching this :)
Just in case anyone's wondering, I used salted butter and just eliminated all the salt she added to the dough, and it tasted like the best piecrust I've ever tasted. Costco only had salted, never tried making it with unsalted but I think just leaving out the added salt gets you where you need to be salinity-wise.
Best pie lesson EVER. You're so fun to watch!
thank you for watching!
I love her passion for everything she shares on this channel. I don't even like peach pie, but now I'm inspired to make this.
Dear Alison. I made my first pie recently after carefully watching your video and it was such a success, I'm about to make another! Thank you!
the only time I have ever doubted you is the moment you poured ALL THOSE PEACHES into that pie 😳 and I stand corrected
four pounds, baby
I was worried, too😬
fruit will always cook down and too much is better than not enough. Most pies do not have enough fruit IMHO
I remember peach pie from my childhood 🥰
Fabulous! This fills in all of the blanks! So grateful for this...and for all of your informative, entertaining, and amusing videos. Thank you!
Made this yesterday. Amaze. Pro tip, leaving skins on the peaches also gives your cooked pie filling that pretty blush color.
I find Alison so lovely and relatable
Love this episode. Would like to see your version of a chicken pot pie some day.
definitely a good fall/winter video!
Agreed!
Yes please !
omg yes
Absolutely.

Putting things in cabinets and drawers to create the illusion of organization is BIG virgo energy 😂 I feel it in a very deep part of my soul.
thank u for seeing me Jonathan
This pie crust is GOAT, I'm a pie novice but all my pies have been delicious and successful because of this crust!!!!! I ❤️ you Alison
I love apple & peach pies but never make any before , but I’m going to give it a try. Thank you Alison🌷😊
Anyone that can make that perfect pie can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned!
Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I love watching you so much! I just got done with a surgery, and I’m recovering, and watching your videos makes me so happy. I love your personality and how you explain things, most cooks are serious, but you’re really funny!!❤️❤️
it is not peach season here in Brazil (winter) and I want this pie so much! Love that the crust can be used in both sweet and savory versions. Cheese/egg/kale sounds delish!
I enjoy your rapport and your experience, I'm 70 and have dealt with many of the things you do. BRAVO !!! Please record our reorganization...
“I’m gonna eat this pie.”
Excellent commentary Alison. x
Ok. I have the peaches, made the crust last night....pie day! I actually have made lots of pie, its my desert of choice, but this will be my first peach. Thank you for your wonderful videos
I made it , exactly like you, it is beautiful, and I will say, one of the best crusts I have ever worked with. It rolled out beautiful. Having friends tonight to eat it. With ice cream of course

The new kitchen is so fabulous!
She has return atlas to bless us in this time of the plague
I honestly thought i was going to die if i dont watch Home Movies tonight
I'm obsessed with home movies. Allison nice new rings!
Cannot believe you worked at pies and thighs!!! One of my all time favorites!! ❤️
Omg!! I found again ❤️❤️ It was a long time since I haven’t been TH-cam. Your kitchen bigger I have to do a marathon on your videos❤️❤️
This video made my Wednesday lunch break so much bettaaaaaa
This was super helpful. I struggle so much keeping crust cool where I live in the Dominican Republic!
Same here, I live in Thailand and it is almost impossible to keep the pie dough cold. I have to shuffle it in and out of the freezer. The first time I made pie, the pie dough melted on the work surface and it kept sticking no matter how much flour I put. Now I roll my pie dough between sheets of wax paper, which allows me to easily transfer it into the fridge. What method do you use for rolling pie dough in the Dominican Republic ?
As someone who cooks savory and never bakes pies, you have inspired me to make this peach pie! Well done🍊🍊🍊
You are such a joy to watch!
I adore watching your videos. Your energy is so infectious, and the recipes are always simple and look fantastic!
I freeze my butter- and grate it into the flower- makes a very uniform and tasty crust- love your pie vid
My grandmother makes pies and i love them. She does pies with spinach, olives and tuna, pies with ricotta and peas, pies with pumpkin and rice and green onions. I love them so much but i barely visit her because of my anxiety :(
I made your pie for Thanksgiving with the sesame seeds..... F'in delish..... I love love that dress. The straps are everything.
This crust recipe is the best one I’ve ever made or tasted! Thank you 🙏
The Wabi Sabi method! Finally made my first pie. Thanks Alison!
Thanks, this was the best video about pie making that I've seen. The peach pie you made looks delicious!
That pie looks so good! To be honest, I have never made peach pie. Mostly Apple and Cherry, but I am definitely going to make this one. You make everything look easy, fun and scrumptious. 🍴😋
Love your new kitchen!! What a difference!! Beautiful pie. Yummy.
So no peeling the peaches? I have learned so much from you and love your videos! Have a huge box of peaches coming from a fund raiser.
when I make pie crusts i have extreme anxiety leading up to and throughout the whole process worried if im messing it up. i recently got a food processor hoping itll make it less stressful. I needed this video and your approach to reset my whole approach!!! Thank you
I was so intimidated by this video but by God Alison you are a gift. I might make pie in may 2x2 kitchen counter!
So satisfying to watch!! Thank you for the pie lesson!
I made your sheet pan chicken for the third time tonight so this pie recipe is going to be on the menu this weekend! Thank you..
I never tried making pie at home..so I’m little bit nervous..
BUT your video is well explained and it’s SOO FUN to watch!Thank you for the recipes!
decided to make pie for a big dinner and lo and behold! alison the goddess roman posts skskskksks ily2much
I read this as PIE FOR DINNER which I still think could be good
Hey girl yasss! Home Movies are so the best 🙂, as are homemade peach pies. Peachy keen you and your work! Thanks 👍
This looks amazing! I really love pie baking(I think the process is really soothing). This video taught me so cool things, especially making the slurry in the bowl before adding in the fruit.

pie is up there with the foods I make the least but would love to eat the most :(
Your profile picture is lovely
Hi, I have never made nor eaten a peach pie but will have to give this a go. Loved the pastry recipe will definitely be making that. Thank you
Little peach trivia for you Alison - Lucky Peach 🍑 signifies “all things good”
Pie is LIFE!!!
Omg! There are different types of stone fruit…free stone and cling! I thought I was going crazy that I couldn’t twist them apart anymore! Ahh, thank you! Pie looks delicious and can’t wait to make :)
Love your channel and cooking Alison!!!❤️
Love this and all of your recipes, but I REALLY love the dress. Looking fab and I may have to find one myself!!
Very enjoyable! Thx!

oh man, I really like those spoons! the one used to stir the fruit mixture and tasting. does anyone know who makes those?
I can’t tell for sure but it could be from the brand Sabre?
Actually I’m sure it is. Go forth and scoop in style! ✨🥄
Love the song for the pie
Pie is life, pie with ice cream is heaven.
You are a pie goddess! Thank you for all of this fab and friendly knowledge. Can’t wait to try. ❤️
Loved this. Never had much success with pies....will definitely give this a try. P.S. I, too, shoved everything into cabinets from my last move....still reorganizing after 2 years! It's fine....nobody can see it...
Definitely trying this with Ontario peaches soon! Thanks for sharing!
I love that dress Alison! I would have totally worn that back in the day when I could still do fashion :) LOL
Yay! Another home movie 🍿 I wish I could cook/bake with you
Love the billboard inaccuracy correction! Swifties are geniuses! Hahahaha
This is therapy
The Joker by Steve Miller Band is another song that mentions peaches
A REAL peach pie that looks real and delicious. My husband always puts xtra sugar on top of his pie slices.
Made this yesterday. The crust was amazing, but the ginger was too strong and made the filling taste a bit funky. My peaches were naturally pretty sweet but i felt like this could've used more sugar (and I dont like anything to be overly sweet). Finally, the filling was just a tad bit soupy.

Agree 100% hand making pie dough is the best way!
I am in love with the terrazzo style mixing bowls. Where are they from?
Omggg thank you Alison I was just about to make a pie and this dropped ✌️
This is awesome!!
Great Job!!! great episode. I used to make a mean pear pie.

Does anyone know where it is from? I love it!
@@laurenquilty175 Its Ganni :)
Great. Now I have to make and eat an entire pie. Fantastic.
give some to friendsssss

That dress tho! 😍👗 Looking beautiful as usual! 💁🏼♀️
Definitely want to try this with plums, ginger and anise.
Ok, but, the real question is: where did you get that AMAZING dress??! 🌟😍🌟😍🌟
It's by the Danish brand Ganni! It's called "Seersucker maxi". I've got it in the rainbow colourway and I love it so much!
Omg thank you so much!!!! 😍😍😍😍
