Anybody want some Chicago-home-baked pie?

I'm in Chicago visiting my parents for a few weeks.  I took the train from upstate-NY to Chicago.  It's an overnight train ride and I woke up to this:



My brother's also visiting Chicago and he decided to try his hand at making an amazing apple pie.  I emailed my friend Lily for her favorite recipe.  We ended up using a different crust recipe (What can I say?  Lily's directions called for overnight-crust-making and we wanted pie stat.) and an additional strawberry pie filling recipe.

Here are the results:





And here are results after 24 hours:



  Also of note are Lowell's apple peeling skills:


Mmm, pie! Thanks Lily!  I'd definitely bake with that recipe again. (And actually try the cream cheese crust next time.)
