It’s National Pie Day!
made this delicious pie for my building engineers and door staff! i added a hint of bourbon with a dash of corn starch and some chocolate chips! made the first recipe and it was to die for! Put my own spin on it using Guy’s base recipe… so delicious. too!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

Highly recommend. I use regular salted butter instead of adding the pinch of butter and store bought pie crust, but everyone loves the pies I make every year. And I respond with “It’s all thanks to Guy Fieri “

Like any recipe, I like to add my touch to the solid and excellent one. I do not use corn syrup. Half a cup of honey and half a cup of pure maple syrup. I also incorporate 3 TBSP of 140 proof single barrel bourbon. I’ve became very popular with Guy’s pie!
