I absolutely cannot get past the huge amount of vegetable oil in the bread!!! Can we get some melted butter???!!!
mmm hart attack pie.
Brian is a friggin thirst trap 😂
Never buy BEN and J again .TOO WOKE
if you really wanted to make it authentic, you need to use lard, not butter, in the crust. im in lancaster, PA, and all of my amish friends use lard, never butter. it actually makes the best crust.
I don't care what anyone says…Blue Bell beats them all
That’s the most perfect rolling out of a pie dough circle I’ve ever seen!
The Edys brand which like you said is Dryers but I think the names completely taken over cuz I don't remember seeing the Dryers containers for a while, an Turkey Hill are typically what we get. I remember trying Halo before and thought it was just disgusting and never wanted it again, I'd rather not have ice cream then eat Halo again. I love Rocky Road and dryers is the only brand that I like, the roasted almonds and the actual marshmallow. It's also one of the only brands that has spumoni which is just part of my Italian heritage. Turkey Hill has black cherry that's really good, is the closest I've found to Baskin-Robbins black cherry. We're on a pretty tight budget so typically we only get ice cream when it's on sale, Ben and Jerry's Baskin-Robbins and the other little pints are just out of our price range. I used to make a lot of ice cream but my ex made sure to break all the stuff I loved including my special appliances
14:51 Bridget exhibits something I look for in every friend or family member. "The honesty of a child." No feelings were spared. 😂😂😂
Try Tillimook it’s great!
generally, the ice cream the average person buys has a lot of other ingredients in it that I wouldn't want to add to my pie. Just saying. I'd rather use cream thanks.
Rest
I've seen that Halo Top ice cream at my favorite
store. Luckily, I read the ingredients list. Saw
stevia, and LEFT it at the store, even though it
was marked down a LOT!
I am no fan of stevia, even considering my name!

i don t understand why u all when making a pastry dough much easier to grate ur butter put back in fridge to stay very cold make sense right byeeee
👍❤️💯👍👍
what kind of oil to coat the pans
This will not turn out well for true pie aficionados. You’ll have end up with raw pie dough on the bottom and most of the pie – yuck and double yuck!why do you not bake the crust? What’s the point of all that butter if it’s disgusting to eat?
Here’s a tip from the Bavarian Master Baker who taught us how to real make Real American Pie:invert the pie shell onto a like size pan. There should be enough butter in your crust recipe that sticking should not be an issue. If that concerns you, cut a piece of parchment paper to fit into the pie pan before inverting. Bake until done. Turn it back right side up, remove the parchment paper if you used it.
Now fill the pie and bake again.
Not bread,… Cake!
Needs more cinnamon!
Looks awesome!
Looks awesome!
I always had that pie with raisins in it. One of my favorites!
Can somebody tell me the size and specially the depth of the pie mold/plate? Thanks in advance.
The halo top you’re supposed to be left out for 15 minute before you eat it otherwise it IS gross and icy. I just had the halo vanilla and it was soooo good. I wonder if they didn’t leave it out like they’re supposed to?
Bread be good . Bread be better as French toast
I always heard I apple pie should never sleep… meaning it should be eaten the day it’s made.
This wasn't about the pie
The ice cream idea is genius

I'm from Lancaster Pennsylvania..everyone should love love love this pie!!
Regarding the vanilla ice cream tasting: it is mildly astonishing to me that Häagen-Dazs did not make the top three favorites. I'd have thought it would be comparable to Ben & Jerry's in quality. Interesting.
Hi i am a new subscriber as of 24 min ago, i am from Christchurch New Zealand and i absolutely loved the idea of the cinnamon bread, when i bake i love to share with my parent`s and i know they would enjoy this loaf, what i would like to know is can i substitute the oil for melted real butter not margarine as my dad has this thing about oil in sweet bread`s and muffin`s. Thank you, Carol.
Try sharp cheddar with you apple pie. Delish. It's all about the cotrasts.
I love Dutch apple pie!When I was a teenager a Grandma's pie restaurant opened in town and i loved the Dutch apple crumb! The friendship bread looks delicious,yet lots of oil.
Too bad B&J is a awful company! Ya lost a lot of respect there Test Kitchen,,, they shouldn't of even been in the line up!
I made the cinnamon bread…it’s absolutely outrageously gooood! I cooked it in a Bundt pan for about 75 mins…gorgeous! Definitely one of the best recipes I’ve ever tried. THANK YOU!
