What's in an American Pie? I thought it was just a term of endearment, like as in the song...it's actually a pie? Ok, feeling very ignorant, now! Googling!!
Hee, I just meant an American recipe! They have cream pies and all sorts of fancy sounding things, and I always seem to make some simple variation on fruit pie. I've actually just made an open (I put the pastry in a dish, piled it high, then roughly turned it up around the fruit) apple, pear, sultana, nutmeg and honey pie, which is cooling downstairs, because I was too hungry to wait for recipes - I'll let you know if it's any good.
And cream pie? I would ask, but my cunning plan from now on to avoid looking unworldly is to google intensely before I speak!
*jumps in inappropriately* I was thinking in this case you'd be perfectly justified to ask; personally, I wouldn't be brave enough to google "cream pie". The results might have very little to do with cake. Yikes. ;)
Oh no! I'm sure you meant it perfectly innocently, but unfortunately I've learnt the hard way that Google often doesn't. Like: never go looking for face cream (Olay stuff) for your mother. No. *shudders*
There may well be a pie called American pie - I have no idea! But no one's left a recipe for it yet.
I always make my own pastry. Except for yesterday, when I cheated and bought a pack of puff pastry - first time I've ever used ready-made pastry. But it was really good, and I'll definitely do a filling like that again.
Hee, I should be clearer. I just meant creamy pie, with a whipped creamy sort of filling, rather than a fruit pie. But I'd love to know what you got from googling...

You pie sounds delicious, and perfect for a day like today. Do you make your own pastry?
