What the?
That was my initial reaction when I found out this weeks recipe! Of course I know what Thanksgiving is, but what is a twofer pie? To be honest I'm still not 100% sure... Just a pumpkin pie with pecans? I know that pecan pie and pumpkin pie are quite popular for Thanksgiving, so maybe someone created this super pie by combing the two? Anyway, thanks to Vibi of La casserole carree for choosing this recipe; both for its relevance to the current season and also for expanding my knowledge!
Pretty much this pie turned out to be a disaster for me. I am currently on a 3 week holiday, so before I left, I was rushing around baking like a mad woman. Unfortunately I didn't get to time to complete Daring Bakers which is a shame. I managed to do all the upcoming Tuesdays with Dorie (plus a birthday treat for S- more to come on that later), so overall I was pretty impressed with myself as I had also just finished exams and was also packing for the trip! I decided to post this weeks recipe anyway, even though it is quite an eyesore... I can't stand to miss a week. I'm not even sure what a twofer pie is supposed to look like, but I assume it's nothing like mine turned out! I was even so pressed for time that I half baked the pie and finished off baking it later that night (don't think that was a very good idea...). S also had to take the photos at about midnight, so there wasn't any light. Luckily for him, I've bought him a flash for his birthday!
I am in a bit of a rush this morning, so you'll just have to trust me that it was a nightmare to make! Don't forget to check out the rest of the Tuesdays with Dorie gang.

It may have been a nightmare, but it looks amazing and so cute! Kudos for squeezing it in!
I'm sorry it didn't turn out for you. Your mini-twofer looks great.
You're probably the one I have to thank the most then, for participating with me this Tuesday!
I really don't think the result is an eyesore, far from it... and the idea of making them in tartelettes was great.
Just for the heck of it: Twofer is a diminutive to "Two for one".
Thanks again... what courage you had, to do all that you did!
sorry it was tough for you, but i think it is pretty much what everyone elses looks like :) lol about the half-baking. hope you have some time to relax soon :)
It doesn't look like a disaster at all, it looks delicious :)
Doesn't look like a disaster to me! Enjoy your holiday!
