Wow !! HiDelight those look like nice goodies!! It looks like you did a great job making them.
I especially like that hubbard squash/pumpkin tart sounds interesting. I myself made a Apple Pie this past weekend. I tried something a little different, usually when you make an apple pie you take the sliced, peeled, and cored apples with the sugar, cinnamon etc mixed and add it to the pie shell. What i did was I cooked the apples with the mix of sugar, cinnamon etc. in a pan until the majority of all the moisture from the apples escaped, this way you wont have a too runny of a pie if you bake it the usual way. It turns out also that you'll get more flavor too by cooking the apples in a pan then the other way.
