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
Skip the canned filling! I’ll also walk you through the steps for making a beautiful (and surprisingly simple) lattice-work top.
Peanut Butter Pie
Peanut butter chocolate lovers will love this rich, creamy pie. Served on a simple Oreo cookie crust!
Banana Cream Pie
Something light and refreshing for after your turkey and mashed potatoes. This pie has a light vanilla custard base and I include tips for keeping your bananas from browning!
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!
Coconut Cream Pie
Maybe not your typical Thanksgiving pie dessert option, but one of my personal favorites!
Galette
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!
And, of course, no pie recipe is complete without the perfect pie crust! Here are a few of my all-time favorites:
- Foolproof, easy Pie Dough (with a surprise ingredient!)
- Graham Cracker Crust
- Oreo Cookie Crust

Elaine Williams says
What apple makes the best pie?
Love the recipes,thanks for sharing.
Sugar Spun Run says
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 says
Can these pies be frozen before baking, and if so should they be baked frozen or thawed?
Sam says
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 says
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!!
Sugar Spun Run says
