Win A Apple Pie Baking Prize Package From Pillsbury and My Blog Spark!

Every year when fall arrives, I look forward to getting back into my kitchen for some baking. During the month of October, I enjoy baking apple pies, apple dumplings and apple crisp for my family...matter of fact, my family looks forward to this every year. This giveaway is being sponsored by Pillsbury through My Blog Spark...so thank you to both of our sponsors!

When October arrives, we head to our favorite local apple orchard right outside of Harrisburg. The entire family goes and we get to pick our own apples...this past weekend, we picked an entire bushel! Since this was the first year our little grand daughter went along, I was in charge of watching her and taking our family photograph's as the family went apple picking. I can't wait to scrapbook the photo's!

The best part of baking an apple pie is the memories you make with your family. Don´t forget to capture photos and videos of your entire adventure from your apple orchard visit to baking the pie at home. We´d love for you to then share your photos and videos by posting them to Pillsbury´s "Love the Pie" Facebook page! Join Pillsbury on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Fall brings around a lot of changes in our weather and brings us indoors as a family. We like to gather in the kitchen during the weekends and bake. I got my Pillsbury Apple Pie Baking kit last week so baking a few apple pies were first up on our baking agenda. I put my adult daughter and husband to work on peeling and coring the apples while I prepared the rest of the ingredients. Even my little grand daughter got in on the action and she was the "apple hander" LOL.

Making apple pies are really easy....especially when you use refrigerated pie crusts made by Pillsbury! Just place the all ready made crust into your pie baking dish and then fill with your apple pie ingredients. No need to get out your dough board and make your own pie crusts...nope...the Pillsbury Pie Crusts are easy to use and taste just like homemade pie crusts! 

Here are a few apple pie recipes by Pillsbury that you can check out and use to make your own homemade apple pies.

Festive Apple-berry Pie is the perfect blend of sweet and tart, with a gorgeous color palette of golden apples and dark red cranberries. Use frozen cranberries to make this dish even more quick and easy!

Topsy-Turvy Apple Pie combines two classics - apple and pecan. Invert the plate to reveal a gorgeous pecan topping. This is a dessert that both apple and pecan pie fans will "flip over".

Easy Apple Pie Foldover is a great solution for keeping the kids happy; a simple mixture of apples and brown sugar folded inside a golden brown baked Pillsbury pie crust. With four servings, it´s a modestly sized apple treat that is kid-friendly to make, and eat.

Cinnamon-Apple Pie with Caramel-Pecan Sauce truly harvests all of autumn´s bounty in a clever presentation. Ready in just under an hour - each slice is topped off with a luscious blend of butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, pecans, whipping cream and vanilla for a saucy treat.

For even more delicious pie ideas throughout the year visit Pillsbury.com/pie for fun and easy recipes to satisfy every season.


I would like to thank Pillsbury and My Blog Spark for sponsoring this giveaway here on the Shakin N Bakin Blog! I had a great time with my family picking apples and baking 2 delicious apple pies! Good Luck everyone!

My favorite pie making tip: roll out pie dough between two sheets of cling wrap. It really helps! You don't need to use extra flour, and there's less mess.

Pie making tip (1)
For fruit pies that are really juicy, avoid a soggy bottom crust - if you bake the pie directly on the floor of the oven for the first 30 minutes you'll havew a crispy bottom crust.

I like a lot of the pies. Some fruit and some meat/veggies. But the one I would like to try first is http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/frozen-chocolate-pie-with-cherry-sauce/d70ea91d-c8a7-4004-9947-812cdca46223/

I like to make a round out of tinfoil and put it around the edge of the crust after it has browned and it keeps it from burning while the rest of the pie is still cooking.
