Pie Nirvana

I took a crack at making my first pie crusts yesterday evening and now, I think I've discovered a new, latent addiction: pie making (as opposed to pie buying and pie eating- addictions I haven't completed all 12 Steps against).

I never realized how much butter is actually in pie crusts (shh!) until I made a few shells. Nonetheless, I churned out four pumpkin pies (someone, stop me!). After I got tired of that, I decided to make miniature blueberry and sweet potato pies using my muffin tin.

Baking baking! As you can see, one of my pies burst in the oven. A violent sight it was...
Mini sweet potato pie! *Note the holiday saucer*
I'm such a sucker for tiny things. The slices didn't end up this deflated, but taking a picture of this slice was super difficult; it lost its innards in the process.

Are the days of muffins and cookies numbered?!
