Echo member Ruth Haffly makes a mean pecan pie - which she did once 
for an echo picnic. Other than rhubarb pie I tend to favour fruit pies.
And blackberry cobbler.  Bv)=

  boiling water over cornstarch mix, evenly. Gently stir
  it up a bit. Bake for 40 minutes or until top is crispy
  looking, ( don't worry, the inside will be nice and
  soft.)
