(Native) American Pie

I've got a new blog project called World Piece, in which I plan to create a pie in honor of every country in the world.  I started out at home with American Pie - but it's not what you think!

That's buffalo meat, two kinds of beans, butternut squash, and a richly spiced coffee gravy in a buttery cornmeal crust.  Click over here for the recipe, or save yourself the trouble and make a pledge to my Kickstarter project so I can make one for you!

I Can't Help Falling In Love with Elvis Pie.

I've just created the most delicious pie in all my years of baking.  I call it Elvis Pie.  Inspired by my own homemade bacon, cured with maple, brown sugar, and cloves, plus the famous fried sandwiches that killed the King, I set out to create something epic.

I succeeded.

That right there is a bacony graham cracker crust with a layer of peanut butter cream sweetened with honey and brown sugar, topped off with fresh sliced bananas, then a lucious vanilla custard, topped off with bacon-vanilla whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, chopped chocolate, and of course, the sweet home-cured bacon.

I can't wait to share this with the world.
