Aspiring Bakers #10: Easy as Pie (August 2011) [ROUND-UP]

This month was a pretty hectic month for me, school-wise, but each time I had an incoming email alert, my heart would leap, because I knew that it would be yet another fantastic pie/tart entry by you guys. It was heartwarming to know that it was the first time or had been a long time since some of you attempted making pies or tarts, so I'm glad that my purpose for hosting this month was fulfilled. I'm glad that this edition of Aspiring Bakers managed to pull you out of your comfort zone, and thank you, to each and everyone one of you for showing such great support this month. 

In total, I received a whopping 137 entries! I have done something slightly different in this round up, grouping the entries according to the type instead. Since I know that I personally will be  referring to this page very often when I need ideas for making pies and such, I figured that this method of grouping would be far more convenient. Within the categories, the entries are grouped according to the date received. Without further ado, here are the entries! :]
