There are a couple places around here that make edible pies that sell
for about $10. The corner bakery/coffee shop makes excellent pies, but
they are $15. They are basically home made pie, had made with good
ingredients and use seasonal fruits. The only one I did not like was the
sour cherry. The baker had added cinnamon to the filling, and I just
wasn't right for cherry.

Given the choice of a good home made style pie from a bakery for $15 and
a home made pie, I make my own. I am lucky to have the knack for making
and rolling pastry, which a lot of people seem to have trouble with.
