After a disappointing dearth of pie options at my workplace cafeteria at lunch (where were my fellow Pi Day celebrants?! One would think there'd be some math geeks in the financial services industry...), I ended the workday still in search of pie.
Would it have been easier to pick up store bought? Sure. But, having found a single serving pie recipe online, I got the Icarian ambition to bake from scratch - sometimes I get these ideas 🤷🏻♀️. (x2, actually - 'cause Pi Day is more fun with more pies and more people, or, another person - the Sissy - in any event.)
Was it the best ever? No. Could the crust have used a nice egg wash? Yes - but for a single serve quick pie, a whole egg? Could the filling have been more bubbly? Sure. But did it present justifiably as pie from scratch on Pi Day? Yup! Did it taste apple-y and buttery crusty and pie-y, and all accomplished last minute, post-work (yay for somewhat better work/life balance!), with ingredients I already had in the kitchen? Ding, ding, ding!
I shall chalk it up as a success! All of it.
