I agree. While it's good, even a small slice can be overkill.
Too much of a good thing.

We have a "pecan pie poster" here. Just so very sweet all the
damn time. I read and read until it's overkill of sickenly
sweet responses and just makes me want to gag.

Then I finally say something and all bodyguards show up
to yell at me for being so mean. LOL!
Hey....sorry bout that.

First of all, for holiday pies either pumpkin or sweet potato
are always my choice. The small cupcake-size pecan is good too.
Those just seem to be "traditional" for the holidays.

For anytime of the year pies.... I would pick 3 and not in any
particular order -
- apple pie
- pumpkin/sp pie
- cheesecake

The very best cheesecake I ever made was a plain vanilla filling,
using crushed homemade Toll House Chocolate Chip cookies for
the crust. oh YUM!

As I have absolutely no self-control over these 3 pies, I rarely
make them.
