Pie Recipes
Pie recipes are some of the most satisfying ways to bring comfort and joy to your kitchen — especially when you’re in the mood for something sweet, cozy, and completely homemade.
There’s just something extra special about baking a pie from scratch.
Maybe it’s the way the crust turns golden in the oven, or how your kitchen smells like pure happiness once it’s done.
From juicy fruit fillings to rich, creamy layers, these dessert recipes give you so much room to get creative — or stick with the classics you know and love.

What are the 3 types of pie?
Great question! There are three main types of pie, and each one has its own style and structure:
- Fruit Pies are made with fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. These are your classics like apple, cherry, blueberry, and peach pies. They’re usually double-crusted (top and bottom), but some have just a bottom crust with a crumble topping.
- Custard Pies are filled with a creamy, egg-based mixture that sets as it bakes. Think pumpkin pie, chess pie, and buttermilk pie. They’re typically made with a single bottom crust.
- Cream Pies have a fully baked crust and a chilled filling. The filling is often pudding-like or whipped, topped with whipped cream. Banana cream, coconut cream, and chocolate cream pies fall into this category.

Pie Baking Tips
- Keep everything cold (especially the butter!) Cold ingredients = flaky crust. Chill your butter, shortening, and even your flour if it’s a warm day.
- Don’t overwork the dough. Handle your pie dough as little as possible. Overmixing makes it tough instead of tender and flaky.
- Let the dough rest. Chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. It helps relax the gluten and prevents shrinking.
- Blind bake for creamy fillings. Pre-bake your crust (with pie weights or dried beans) if you’re making a cream or custard pie to avoid a soggy bottom.
- Use a baking sheet. Place your pie on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven to catch any drips—saves on clean-up and protects your oven.
- Protect your crust. If the edges start browning too fast, cover them with a pie shield or strips of foil halfway through baking.
- Cool completely before slicing. Pies need time to set—especially fruit or custard pies. Cutting too soon can lead to a runny mess.
Absolutely! Homemade crust is amazing, but store-bought is great in a pinch—especially for quick weeknight desserts.
Use cornstarch, flour, or tapioca. The exact amount depends on the fruit’s water content. Berries need more thickener than apples.
Most likely, it was overworked or had too much water added. Try mixing less and using ice-cold water next time.
Fruit pies can sit out at room temp for up to 2 days. Custard and cream pies should go in the fridge once cooled.
Brush the top crust with an egg wash (one egg beaten with a splash of milk or water) right before baking.

You had me at Mocha Latte Pie! Oh my word! These recipes look fab! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Who doesn’t love pie? These recipes are perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
I love to bake, and when I have a long list of things new to try, I get very excited! I am eager to try the s’more and cannoli pie!
All these look great! The Grasshopper Pie sounds interesting! 😀
These all sound so delicious. I have never made my own Sweet Potato Pie. I will have to give this recipe a try.
So many pies, so little time. My favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb with crumble topping. So good.
I want to try them all! I told my hubby I don’t want a cake for my birthday, I want pie. I would much rather have a birthday pie over birthday cake any day!
Wow, are you kidding me?!
This is a great resource with links to all these recipes.
Thanks. The old fashioned apple pie alone is worth a look.
I want to try so many of these recipes! I’m particularly looking at that chocolate peanut butter no bake. Sweets without using the oven is always a win for me!
You had me at pie. MM these all look delicious. But that grasshopper pie looks the BEST. Thanks for sharing
I have tried a lot of these. I wouldn’t mind trying them again though. A lot of these pies were really delicious.
I love chocolate mint, so the Grasshopper Pie sounds delicious. What a great addition to my Thanksgiving menu!
That skillet cherry pie sounds amazing! It’s always been my favorite but I’ve never tried it in a skillet!
The cherry oatmeal pie has my vote. Looks yummy!
All of these sound delicious. We are big pie fans at the holidays!
Tons of variety here that I have never heard of! Guess I need to get baking 😉
This is definitely the beginning of pie season and I am more than a little excited. I think that cannoli pie is the perfect place to start.
I love baking homemade pies, more so during the holiday season. I am loving this triple berry pie, delicious!!
