No matter what, the day is better if there’s 🥧.
Is there anything better than a slice of freshly baked pie with a flaky crust and a scoop of ice cream on top? We love a good pie recipe because they're truly an all-year-round kind of dessert.

And, while we're obviously fans of classic Thanksgiving pies (is there really a time when it’s not pecan pie or pumpkin pie season?), we’re certainly not picky!
A homemade pie takes even the most humble of gatherings and turns it into an event. Read on and scroll through our best and favorite pie recipes for any occasion and any day of the year!

Maple-Apple Tarte Tatin
Think of this as almost an upside-down pie. The sweet apples caramelize in a pan, then the crust is placed on top, before the whole thing is baked, and then flipped over to serve. It's easier than you think, and guaranteed to impress.
Grapefruit Custard Pie with Saltine Crust
Pro tip: Saltine crackers make a phenomenal pie crust. Think of it as the graham cracker crust's less sweet, more elegant cousin. The mild flavor pairs especially well with a big, in-your-face flavor like grapefruit custard. This pie will wow you with the first bite, and then have you wishing you hadn't waited until you were today years old to finally try it.

Inspired by Woodruff’s Pie Shop in Monroe, Virginia, a family-owned café where the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Their apple pie is renowned, including this handy eat-on-the-go version. A hint of lemon renders a fruity filling that tastes as crisp as a sun-dappled afternoon.
Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie
This delightful citrus pie is a classic Ohio staple! We used Meyer lemons and suggest serving it with black coffee and a scoop of ice cream.
Sugar Cream “Hoosier” Pie
This Indianan sugar cream pie came out of the Shaker and Amish communities, as a treat in winter months when fruit was unavailable. Dusted with nutmeg, it's a delicious treat!
