Just in time for Thanksgiving, I’m sharing my collection of 100% from scratch pie recipes! I’m even including a few crust options too.
BEST Thanksgiving Pie Recipes
What’s Thanksgiving without a slice of pie? Pretty disappointing, if you ask me! While many people look forward to the turkey or other Thanksgiving side dishes, I’m always eager to dig my fork into as many slices of pie as I can. Today I’m compiling all of my pie recipes into one easy guide–perfect for planning your holiday dessert table!
Out of all the pie recipes on the blog, my absolute favorite is chocolate pie. While I am admittedly a self-proclaimed chocoholic, there’s just something so irresistible about the rich chocolate pudding filling over the buttery pie crust (all 100% homemade, of course!). Everyone who tastes this pie asks for the recipe. Make sure to top it off with some homemade whipped cream if you give it a try!
1. Chocolate Pie
This chocolate pie is one of my most popular pie recipes, and for good reason! The chocolatey, creamy, and rich filling pairs so well with flaky homemade pie crust.
2. Easy Apple Pie
A classic! You will love how easy my recipe is (no precooking the filling or blind baking the crust!).
3. Pecan Pie
Complete with toasty pecans and a slightly gooey, caramelized center, this is pecan pie perfection! If you love pecans, give my candied pecans a try too.
4. Key Lime Pie
I tried SO many variations before developing this PERFECT key lime pie recipe! This one was the clear winner. Also, if you love key lime pie give my key lime cake or key lime cheesecake a try!
5. Blueberry Pie
Skip the canned filling and make your own in minutes! I’ll also walk you through the steps for making a beautiful (and surprisingly simple) lattice crust.
6. Banana Cream Pie
This pie has a light vanilla custard base and is so light and refreshing. It’s made with a crisp vanilla wafer crust as an ode to banana pudding.
7. Pumpkin Pie
A Thanksgiving classic! My version is made entirely from scratch and uses a sneaky secret ingredient for a smooth, perfectly sweet filling.
8. Lemon Meringue Pie
Just look at that sky high meringue filling! I use a trick that prevents the meringue from weeping (because nobody wants that!). This is one of my most requested pie recipes!
9. Frozen Mudslide Pie
Inspired by the drink, this pie combines a frozen chocolate filling with Bailey’s whipped cream. This is one of my newest pie recipes, and I can’t wait to hear how you like it!
10. Chocolate Chess Pie
This unique chocolate pie tastes like a fudgy brownie filling on buttery pie crust. It’s incredible!
11. Oreo Pie
A no-bake pie! This Oreo pie is refreshing and satisfying, almost like eating cookies and cream ice cream on an Oreo crust.
12. Coconut Cream Pie
Coconut cream pie might not be a traditional Thanksgiving pie, but I bet it will disappear from your dessert table! This is one of my favorite pie recipes.
13. Lemon Pie
Similar to key lime pie, this lemon pie is smooth and tangy. Top it with as much whipped cream as you like! I also have a lemon tart recipe, if you’d prefer that.
14. French Silk Pie
No raw eggs! My version is so velvety and smooth. It’s tastes like chocolate mousse on a buttery crust.
15. Peanut Butter Pie
Peanut butter chocolate lovers will love this rich and creamy pie. Don’t feel like making a whole pie? Try my peanut butter pie dessert shooters!
16. Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
This recipe combines pumpkin pie with classic cheesecake. Both flavors swirl together to make a gorgeous pie!
17. Mississippi Mud Pie
Another no-bake pie, this Mississippi mud pie has three layers of chocolatey goodness and a whipped cream crown. Also try my Mississippi mud cake!
18. Buttermilk Pie
An old-fashioned pie, we sometimes call this “sugar cookie pie” because of its sweet sugary custard taste.
19. Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie
Similar to strawberry cheesecake, this strawberry cream cheese pie is made without any gelatin or Cool Whip. I also have a blueberry cream cheese pie!
20. Chocolate Ice Box Pie
Rich and creamy icebox pie comes together without ever touching the oven. We love this during the summer!
21. Dutch Apple Pie Recipe
This is my all-time favorite version of apple pie. It’s creamier than your average apple pie and is topped off with a crumbly walnut streusel topping. Be sure to try my apple slab pie and apple dumplings too!
22. Fruit Galette
For those of you who don’t love the structure of pies, this fruit galette is a free-form option. The rustic appearance is part of the charm, so no worry about tidily crimping the crust or making a lattice top! I also have a recipe for mini caramel apple galettes.
Pie Crust Variations
I can’t talk about pie recipes without the sharing a few pie crusts too! Here are a few of my all-time favorites.
23. Classic Pie Crust
This is the only pie crust recipe you’ll ever need! Buttery, flaky, and foolproof, this recipe comes together quickly in the food processor.
24. Graham Cracker Crust
Homemade graham cracker crust tastes SO much better than store-bought. It takes just 5 minutes to make!
25. Blind Baked Pie Crust
Hate soggy bottoms? Me too. Blind baking your pie crust ensures you’ll have perfect pie, every time!
26. Oreo Crust
You need just two ingredients to make this crisp Oreo crust! I use this recipe for several of my pie recipes and a few of my cheesecakes too, like my Oreo cheesecake and peanut butter cheesecake.
27. Lattice Pie Crust
Lattice looks intimidating, but I promise it’s actually super easy! I’ll walk you through every step.
28. Sourdough Pie Crust
If you are a fan of my sourdough recipe, I bet you have some sourdough starter or discard hanging around somewhere. Use it to make this crust!
I’d love to hear what pie recipes you plan to make this Thanksgiving! At my house, you’ll find my family’s favorites including Dutch apple pie, pumpkin pie (of course!), and coconut cream pie.
Also, if pie isn’t your thing (though I’m not sure why you would have made it this far down the post if that was the case!), check out my post on Thanksgiving Desserts (that aren’t pie!).
Enjoy!

Sam
Something to work on for next year!
Elaine Williams
What apple makes the best pie?
Love the recipes,thanks for sharing.
Sugar Spun Run
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! 🙂
Howard Bernstein
Can these pies be frozen before baking, and if so should they be baked frozen or thawed?
Sam
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.
Lily
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!!
