My mom and grandmother used canned evaporated milk, NOT sweetened condensed milk, instead of egg wash on their pies. It helped them brown up. I remembered that when you mentioned that your guest could not have eggs. Hopefully this helps. I am loving this series!!
Bravo to you. It’s a fun endeavour to watch but I do realize a lot of work researching, buying groceries and preparing it on top of everything else you do. I like that you encourage everyone to be open and honest in their critique then you know what to tweak or change
I never thought of pop tarts as a pie but of course they fit there with your beautiful crust. Also, thank you for all you do in presenting this series. It has to be a lot work from researching for recipes to trying out new things. ❤
Mike’s pretend world being more fun than the real thing cracked me up. Totally relatable. I’m also excited to try making these at home GF. I love hand pies. After September pies, I’d love to see some of the new you discussed. I enjoy trying the things you cook when I can.
I love hand pies and my favorite is apricot. Stew up some dried apricots with water and sugar to a sweetness you like for the filling. My friend, who came from Cuba, made some Empanadas ( meat pie) that was delicious. She also made a sweet hand pie with Guava Jelly (from a can by Goya)...I don't know if that makes a difference, but also delicious. She made those with puff pastry dough. Your pies are by far better looking than a purchased one, you can see right off the bat the dough was flakier and definitely more filling. Way to go on Pie day #8.
My husband is from New Mexico and they eat green chile on all kinds of things. There is such a thing as Green Chile Apple Pie. Would love to see you do that one.
As a fellow camper, I think the pie scope can be extended to pudgie pie irons. Campfire cooking might be a fun way of getting out of the kitchen and outside enjoying hand pies. 😉🤞 Love this series! Thank you for sharing.
A savory pie that my family requests often is the Pillsbury Zucchini Crescent Pie. I thinly slice fresh tomatoes in a single layer on the top before baking. Yummy!
Drool worthy home made pop tarts, today, Megan! We made some hand pies a while back too and surprisingly enough our favorite kind was the apple butter filling and raspberry filling. The chocolate hazelnut was just meh also. You also wear that dress like a queen!
Fun! ❤ I've always loved pop tarts, but don't eat them any more. And these are much healthier than store-bought (at least you know what is in these). Also, I noticed Peter's looks and mannerisms are so much like Mike!
Hey, you should freeze half of the pies that you are making. Just automatically cut the pies in half when you get done with them and freeze half of it . you're so close to the holidays and then you could pull out a half of a pie of different kinds and I'm sure people would love to have the variety especially with the holiday season coming up. Great video and God bless!!
My ex-husband's grandmother used to make something similar to this. Except for the filling she would put diced apples kind of with a apple pie filling. And then just put powdered sugar, milk and vanilla drizzle. And they tasted wonderful. Nanny as we called her. Showed me how to make them. I can see these would be very tasty also.
Yum! I’ve made these before but yours look better. I’m going to give it another try. I grew up on pop tarts for breakfast, toaster strudels were for the rich people. lol They didn’t last long when we did get them.
My mom always made hand fried pies with fresh fruit that was in peak season. We had peach and apple most often. But instead of pie crust she used biscuits. They were delicious!! The pop tarts looked good but I think your dough needed to be thinner ❤
One of my favorite meals was Pasties. My dad was from the UP and they were very popular there. It is a meat pie with suet in the crust, beef, and other ingredients. I could easily pull out the recipe from the grandmother for you. The dough is rolled out in individual circles, the filling is put inside and the circle is folded over and sealed.
My mother allowed us to have pie for breakfast while our neighbors had the newest flavored fig newtons. This was in the mid 1960’s. Those kids were jealous of us and we were jealous of them!! The other neighbors on the other side of us got fried eggs , bacon, and toast every morning! 😂😂 along with their cats and dogs ! I think those neighbors hit the jackpot! 🥧🍳
My mom taught us to make hand held meat pies like you ate in England. It is pie crust with potatoes,carrots,onions and pieces of round steak with salt and pepper and a little butter sealed in half circle and baked till done. Serve with brown gravy over top or can eat hand held. Miners in England took these but with turnips and also other types of meat into the mines for their lunch.
My family is Swedish and I remember eating Crab pie, Swedish Cheese Pie (Västerbottenostpaj), Pork pie, Swedish Apple pie and Blueberry pie (with spices like cloves and nutmeg).
First of all Megan, you are an exceptional Woman,mother, wife, everything,, Baker, etc. so many things I could say about you! I seriously need to step up my game,,,Your family is so fortunate they have no clue,, I would wrestle them to the ground for these pop tarts!! lol
I would even do scrambled eggs, diced sausage, bacon, and peppers mixture like breakfast sandwiches wrapped up in these types of pastries. Also another good idea.!!
Yum, now I feel like a pasty. I've never heard of a hand pie before 😊. 99% of the time, pies come in a single serve. In Australia, a pie is just a pie, unless it's a "Family" Pie (dinner plate size pie). Steak and mushroom pies are Yum. 💙🇦🇺
A Reuben pie would be great! Start with cooking a corned beef brisket in chx broth/stock along with some onions and carrots. A slow cooker is great for this. Shred the meat, coat with olive oil & sautee with an onion for about 5-10 minutes. This is the bottom layer. Top with rinsed sauerkraut, Swiss cheese a bit of butter and 1000 dressing. Egg wash on top. Bake as you would a pot pie. While that’s baking, take the juice, carrots &onions from brisket and blend it up in a food processor. Add a tad of corn starch to make a gravy. Serve that on the side so that each person can spoon on as much as they would like. If you like Reubens, this is easy and delicious! And you will probably have some leftover meat to use as you wish!!
👏🏼 Thank you for this demo on hand pies. I think these would make a great item for a fundraiser. How about maple pancake hand pie? Megan you have great willpower to not eat your creations. I sure am enjoying your September pies.
My favorite savory pie is BACON AND EGG PIE, it is just as delicious cold as it is hot. Can you make that one day it is so easy to make. Thankyou i am enjoying watching pie month
First, I would like to say that your September pies are my favorite time on your channel. In the 1950's, my mother purchased a small drive-in restaurant in the Sierras above a small town called Springville, California. The one thing the drive-in was most known for was it turnovers. People would come from Southern California to vacation in the Sierras, and on their way back home, they would stop to buy a couple dozen turnovers. When my mother purchased the drive-in from the elderly man who had owned it for years, the agreement was that he would give her the recipe for the turnovers. I have the recipe for the apricot pineapple turnovers and I would like to share it with you to include in your September pies series. I won't include the dough recipe because you can use your favorite. Betty's Turnovers 1/2 gallon dried apricots Barley cover with water and cook until all water is absorbed. Watch closely so fruit doesn't burn. Take off heat and add 5 cups sugar Add small can of crushed pineapple. Stir well to help dissolve sugar. Chill completely. Roll a 6 inch circle of pie dough and place a small amount of chilled fruit mixture on one side of dough circle. Fold dough over fruit and crimp edge well. Place pies on a parchment covered cookie sheet. Cut a small slit on top of each pie. When cookie sheet is full of hand pies place in 400° oven. Set timer for 10 minutes. Melt cube of butter and at the 10 minute mark brush tops of pies with melted butter. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes more In memory of my mother, the best cook I have ever known!
Buttermilk Pies are good and easy to make. Paula Deen has a grits pie. I’ve bought all the ingredients to make but have been putting off making but watching September Pies is inspiring me to just Do iiittt!
You can also put beef, and sausage with cheese in the middle. And venison and lamb. Meat pies, easy to travel you can even make gravy and pour over the top when you start eating.
Maybe you need to go out on the street and recruit some new taste testers. Your kids are spoiled with all the deliciousness! The poptarts looked great.
That looked like fun! I hesitated to ask, but since you brought up hand pies, I wondered if you have considered fried fruit pies? My mom used to make them with a regular pie crust and dried fruit that she reconstituted. I would like to have a recipe for them since they were quite good. I just don't know all of the things she used to make them nor how hot the oil or shortening needs to be to fry them. Anyway, thank you for September Pies! It's fun and you do the whole presentation very well!😊
Always love your pie videos!! It's only the 2 of us now so not as many to eat a whole one! I was wondering if you would try a Northern Michigan Pasty? Sometimes made with rutabaga or potato with beef. The miners used to take them into the mines for their lunch. Sorry about the waistline!
We ate pop tarts growing up but only once in a while. They had to be toasted otherwise they didn't taste very good. Just my opinion. If she would have made home baked pop tarts like these they would have disappeared fast!! Yummy!!
Hi Ryan's mom Sam commenting... as someone from Scotland we don't do pop tarts not really a thing here but you could put cheese and onion or meat and potato or the mixture you used in your Somosa pie in these and you got yourself a *Pastie* like the ones Mike enjoyed on you're trip to England with Andrew 😅😊 ie *Cornish pastie *😊😊
My advice is when you glazed the dough that butter may need a pinch of white sugar in it. Depending on the dough, I used philsbury dough for pot pie and it was too salty. Now my rooomate commented that the salty compliments a sweet filling but pot pie is a savoury dish. So I needed a hint of sugar to counter the salt already in it. If 7:17 is saying it needs it perhaps just a pinch will do.
So… Marie Callender’s Restaurant in Salt Lake City used to have a sour cream raisin pie that was so delicious I will never forget it! I would love to see you make one. I’ve seen the recipe on Pinterest but never attempted it. Would you please?? Btw I would eat all of your pies and never get tired of them!!!
KY Derby Pie can definitely survive the effects of pie-flation!! Chess pie is another good one. I used to make Buttermilk pie as a kid because we always had all the ingredients, but honestly I don’t remember how it tasted.
I've been wanting to make homemade pop tarts but it seems intimating. You should put some pie sample platters together for neighbors so you guys don't have to eat them all. Lol
A good recipe for left over pastry is to bake single sheets about 3 inches by 2 inches, when cool spread jam and cream on one piece, pop another piece of pastry on top and sprinkle with icing sugar. Yummy easy treat.
Try a romanian pie! It uses spinach/ spring onion/cheese/ creme fresh and dill for filling. You should use some high fat cheese such as combi and grated mozarella. Chop your greens ( and you need a lot) as the cheese and creme frech just helps the greens stick together For dough you can use either puff pastry ( in which case i tend to make a roll and bake, or yoy can use same dough you use for doughnuts but roll out thin and round, fill and fold to a semi circle pinching ends closed and fry in hot oil ( thats more close to our original ) Is probably inspired by sanakopita a greek pie . To be honest might be just in my family, as not many make it in my area. One of my great aunts was married to a greek man and maybe this is how it became our classic 😁
Not a traditional "pie", but Pavlova is my absolute favorite YUM!! Per Google "The Ancient Greeks considered it to be a cake due to it's containing of eggs. However, because of the crust, we would consider it a pie today."
My mom and grandmother used canned evaporated milk, NOT sweetened condensed milk, instead of egg wash on their pies. It helped them brown up. I remembered that when you mentioned that your guest could not have eggs. Hopefully this helps. I am loving this series!!
❤
Great idea
You can also use heavy whipping cream
"I like our imaginary life."
I get this to the core!! ❤❤❤
I do love chocolate pop tarts and home made is great. Thank you so much for sharing this GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 💕🙏💕
Bravo to you. It’s a fun endeavour to watch but I do realize a lot of work researching, buying groceries and preparing it on top of everything else you do. I like that you encourage everyone to be open and honest in their critique then you know what to tweak or change
Megan you show your family love with yummy food. It only makes sense that your pies would be delicious and decadent.
Love you two! Your beautiful relationship makes my heart smile! ❤
I’m wondering who was surprised by the strawberry inside a chocolate icing!! lol
It would be fun to know.
I’m loving pie month!!
I was like…no that’s strawberry!! Hahah
I was like, wait, one of those chocolate is a strawberry 🍓. I think it's funny that she didn't cut it open.
I noticed that when she was icing them. Somebody's getting a surprise!
Your samosa pie is not listed. May I suggest empanadas they are a fun pie I don’t seen your pie library
I love what megan said, Not supposed to be earth shattering, just supposed to be yummer and fun.😄
I really enjoyed watching you make this .
I never thought of pop tarts as a pie but of course they fit there with your beautiful crust. Also, thank you for all you do in presenting this series. It has to be a lot work from researching for recipes to trying out new things. ❤

I would love to see a Mile High Apple Pie. I have never tried to make one, but have always been impressed when I have seen them at gatherings.
You guys look so young! I enjoying watching yall!... Love from Tennessee
Love your videos! Pie month is my favorite! I think we need a compilation of Megan's "let's do it's!" That would be fun to watch😁
Fun and creativity.. Awesome September tradition Megan❤
I love the pop tarts! 😊
Yummy! 💜
It would be yummy and easy to use store bought puff pastry as the pop tart crust🥳
Fun! ❤ I've always loved pop tarts, but don't eat them any more. And these are much healthier than store-bought (at least you know what is in these). Also, I noticed Peter's looks and mannerisms are so much like Mike!

I love September Pies but I also really love your brass pig on the shelf behind you!!!!
I used to make handpies from FatHead dough. I would use monk fruit to sweeten it and use cranberries. So good.
fashionesta and then some, amazing!
You look beautiful Megan. Good lighting. Thank you !
I grew up around amish in eastern PA... my favorite pie is shofly pie... amazing!!
I’m making this with my littles-fun to make and fun to eat 😋Ty 🥰🙏
Pop tarts look soooo good 😊
Yum! I’ve made these before but yours look better. I’m going to give it another try. I grew up on pop tarts for breakfast, toaster strudels were for the rich people. lol They didn’t last long when we did get them.

Key lime poptarts!
Any pie filling works great. Peach, apple, cherry, etc.
I had a delicious ham and cheese savory hand pie once! Your pies looked tasty.

I’m all for savory pies❤️❤️
🤤 hope you consider making a classic egg custard pie, my dad's favorite
I would even do scrambled eggs, diced sausage, bacon, and peppers mixture like breakfast sandwiches wrapped up in these types of pastries. Also another good idea.!!
Love your pie series. How about a corned beef and potato pie?
One of my suggestions - we make this a lot - Country Breakfast Pie
Yum, now I feel like a pasty. I've never heard of a hand pie before 😊. 99% of the time, pies come in a single serve. In Australia, a pie is just a pie, unless it's a "Family" Pie (dinner plate size pie). Steak and mushroom pies are Yum. 💙🇦🇺
Let’s Do it!❤🥧
Apple -cranberry hand pies for Thanksgiving ❤❤❤
You can try Filipino Egg Pie or Ube Pie! 💗
❤ ty
Million Dollar Pie was a Christmas favorite my Aunt made for the family.
Love the pretend life!
They look good homemade pop tarts
When our daughter was little, she used to say "makery" instead of bakery ❤

Toaster strudel’s crust is more puff pastry than a pie crust. 🙂🐈⬛🐈💖🌈
Love all of this great pie inspiration! How about an apple desert pizza pie?
👏🏼 Thank you for this demo on hand pies. I think these would make a great item for a fundraiser.
How about maple pancake hand pie? Megan you have great willpower to not eat your creations. I sure am enjoying your September pies.

NEK Vermont ❤ maple bacon and chedder pop tarts
Pecan Carmel cream cheese pie and also sour cream and raisin pie
Shoo Fly Pie would be a fun one to try.
My grandsons want me to make the rootbeer pie!

I did find a recipe online "Taste of Home" recipe by Carole Derifield. The reviews were good for options they liked to use.
Savory hand pie idea - you could try a Jamaican patty. It looks like a hand pie
We ate pop tarts growing up but only once in a while. They had to be toasted otherwise they didn't taste very good. Just my opinion.

Egg and bacon pie. 😋
South African Melk Tert is delicious. It is a different custard pie
Try a mincemeat pie, gooseberry pie, rhubarb pie. I remember my grandma making all three of those and I’m 74,so that was along time ago.😊
They looked delicious to me.
I've been wanting to make homemade pop tarts but it seems intimating. You should put some pie sample platters together for neighbors so you guys don't have to eat them all. Lol
Can’t run this off 😊
