I live in MN, where the Nordicware factory is located, and recently went to the factory store for the first time. It was a treasure trove for those of us who like to bake! They sell factory seconds at cheaper prices which are just as good. I bought 2 mini pie tins and baked a sour cherry pie in one of them this weekend. It was fabulous and a single 9-inch pie crust recipe was enough for top and bottom of the tin. I'm debating making smaller pies for Thanksgiving as we always have so many pie leftovers as several just want slivers. That's going to be a challenge for pumpkin pie, but maybe I can find a recipe online somewhere. For the first time in Nordicware history, they had a booth at the MN state fair this past summer and it was a real treat to see them there! I hope they return for years to come. I recently made the Tunnel of Fudge cake and it was quite divine, I must say. Mine had issues coming out of the pan - perhaps I missed a spot when I greased it.
