Thanksgiving Breakfast Pies

One of my favorite post-Thanksgiving rituals -- apple pie for breakfast on Friday morning. Who else is indulging?

            Fruit-filled pies can be held at room temperature but those that are custard filled -- i.e., like pumpkin, containing milk/cream and eggs -- should be refrigerated.

              Eh. I know this kind of reply drives some CHers up the wall, but...eh. I don't think anyone in my family has ever refrigerated a pie, pumpkin or otherwise. I suppose if we thought it might last more than a couple days we might do so.

                We never refrigerate pies either, no one has gotten sick yet. Then again I also do not put my butter or eggs in the fridge. I have chickens though so our eggs are fresh. They have a protective coating on them and only really need to be put in the fridge after they have been washed.

              Absolutely! It's my ritual after Thanksgiving, only it's my mom's pumpkin pie for breakfast. It's so good that, for her thanksgiving dinner, she makes an individual pie for every family to take home.

              Pie in the morning is my favorite, and generally speaking morning is perhaps my favorite time for baked goods, cakes etc. Breakfast of champions!

                I would have, but the last two pieces went home with its maker and her daughter … and it wasn't a fruit pie anyway, it was walnut. However, I still have about a pint of the eggnog ice cream I made to go with it. That will console me nicely!

                      My family of 5 has 4 pies each TG - each of the 3 kids designs a pie and I have to have my apple crumb pie or apple crisp. This year, in addition to apple crisp, sweet potato meringue, chocolate-hazelnut silk and brown butter chess pie with mixed nuts...

                      So - we always have lot of leftover pie and the kids look forward all year to pie for breakfast.

                      Hey - look at what IHOP has been advertising as "breakfast". Caramel pancakes - come on - pie isn't that bad.
