Perfect for spring or summer entertaining.Every year, my sister and brother-in-law host a Pi(e) Night party in celebration of National Pi Day. His number nerdiness combined with her love of hosting a great party have made for some pretty epic evenings over the years, and it’s now something I look forward to every March. Two years ago, I even won their pie contest with this Candy Apple Pie, which I cannot take credit for at all, but it is amazing!
