cupcakes vs. pie

I got the new Craft magazine yesterday. It's as awesome as always. Amy Sedaris is on the cover. She's a writer/crafter/renaissance woman and runs a cupcake business out of her home.

While reading about the cupcake trend (interesting article here and here), I ran across a New York Times article that said "in the modern age, the cupcake may be more American than apple pie."

That statement combined with my nostalgia for weekly doses of pie on the recently cancelled TV show Pushing Daisies inspired me to make a pie for my craft night. I used this tutorial to make a lattice crust. Everyone should do it at least once in their lives.
