shopping report.Found this lovely little pie vent for just a few measley dollars at Tuesday Morning. Now I'm going to have to bake a full-crust pie and put the little warblers through their paces...
Apparently, you set them on the bottom of the crust and build the pie's innards around them, including the crust on top. Then when the gooey goodness inside gets all steamy and molten, the gases can escape through their upturned beaks.
CUTE!

Pie Birds. Leave their heads above the crust, but mold the top crust around the shoulders.
Hmmm. A marketing scheme comes to mind. Frozen pie, with pie birds. A variety for collectors and a few special rare pie birds to keep the obsessed obsessive.
Black bird singing in the apple pie...
There. I've planted a song in your head, which you'll hear everytime you bake a pie with the pie birds.
I hope you have better luck with the rest of the lyrics. I'm at a loss.
the song continues "take these tiny wings and vent my pie..." Yes, thank you for the adorable reference, Jon. I think it's nice for kitchen accoutrements to each have their own sweet little theme song.
Nice. I like to cook the apples in a saucepan for about 15 minutes before I put them into the pie crust. This cookes a lot of the water out of them, so they don't shrink in the oven, leaving a huge empty Zeppelin Hanger sized space in your pie crust.
