If you had to pick your favorite pie, what would it be? I know, it’s a hard question! I happen to love lemon meringue pies, apple pies, french silk pies…I really can’t limit myself to just one. That’s why when Recipe4Living had its Best Pie Recipe Contest, it was hard to choose a winner. But one entry made our jobs a little easier. This Sweet Tart Apple Berry Apricot Pie let us know that we didn’t really have to limit ourselves. We could have all of these great flavors in one pie! Not to mention, look how beautiful it is!

When my friend announced she was throwing a dinner party featuring ingredients from her local farmer’s market, I immediately volunteered to bring dessert. Not only do I love baking, but I had several pints of fresh blueberries in the fridge just begging to be baked. I could picture in my mind what I wanted to bake before I actually had the recipe. I thought I wanted to make some sort of tart that uses fresh blueberries and either a pastry cream or jam.
