Home Cooking Ambassador Lauren Atkins here with a very important question for you: what’s your favorite thing about Fall? If you said “pie,” then congratulations! You know that pie is always the answer.

Now that it’s officially Fall here in the United States, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the change of seasons, an abundant harvest after the long summer stretch, and the joy of a warm, cozy house with two of our favorite things: Evernote and pie!

Let’s Get Cooking

The third Evernote Cook-Along is dedicated to harvest pies, the delicious comfort foods that celebrate the gifts of nature. Much like the crêpes we made in the first Evernote Cook-Along, harvest pies can be sweet or savory and adapted to showcase your talents, tastes and local bounty. Apple? Pumpkin? Mincemeat? Squash? Seafood pot pie? The options are endless.

So grab your rolling pins and get ready because the Harvest Pie Cook-Along is  Saturday, October 6, 2012.

To participate, be sure you’ve downloaded Evernote Food to your iPhone or Android phone. Here’s how it’s going to work:

• RSVP for the Harvest Pie Cook-Along Facebook event, and while you’re at it, be sure to Like the Evernote Food Facebook page!
