    With Thanksgiving just a few short weeks away, now is the time to be planning your dessert menu! No Thanksgiving (or, in my opinion, Christmas) dessert table is complete without PIE, so today I’m rounding up 10 of my all-time favorite Pie recipes to share with you!

    Which one will you be trying this season?

    Apple Pie

    Starting off with a classic! Everyone needs a staple apple pie recipe and this one is my all-time favorite. Creamier than your average apple pie and topped off with a crumbly walnut/streusel topping!

    Some fun variations include my apple slab pie and apple dumplings!

    Chocolate Pie

    This chocolate pie is one of my most popular recipes, and for good reason! Super chocoalte-y, creamy, and rich, served on my flaky homemade pie crust… make sure to top it off with some homemade whipped cream!

    Pecan Pie

    Toasted pecans, a slightly gooey, caramelized, center, this is pecan pie perfection! Also try my candied pecans!

    Blueberry Pie

    Buttermilk Pie

    An old-fashioned pie, we sometimes call this “sugar cookie pie” because of its sweet sugary custard taste.

    Key Lime Pie

    I tried SO many variations before developing this PERFECT Key Lime Pie recipe! Served on a classic graham cracker crust!

    For those of you who don’t love the structure of pies, this free-form galette is a free-form option. The rustic appearance is part of the charm, so no worry about tidily crimping the crust or lattice-work tops!

        Hi, Elaine! I recommend using a firm, tart apple for apple pie. My personal preference is Granny Smith, which I like using for most of my baked apple recipes. Happy Baking! 🙂

      Can these pies be frozen before baking, and if so should they be baked frozen or thawed?

        It depends on the particular pie you had in mind.
        Some of them indicate in the recipe whether you can freeze or not. Most of the fruit pies can be frozen, while the custard-based ones unfortunately tend to deteriorate after thawing.

      I made the buttermilk pie last year and loved it. I think I’ll do the pecan pie this year. Keep up the good work Sam!!
