Who doesn’t love a good pie during the holidays? With so many varieties, textures, and flavors there’s something out there for everyone. It’s just a matter of finding the right pie. Thankfully, we have just the recipes to get you started on your journey to becoming the pastry connoisseur of your family and friends.
Pie Recipes to Fill Your Holiday Table
Raspberry Glaze Pie
This recipe is modeled after the strawberry pie from Eat’n Park but with a raspberry adjustment. Its simple (but wonderful) filling is made from Jell-O and fresh berries with a flakey, buttery pie crust holding a mountain of berry goodness.
White Christmas Coconut Pie
A recipe passed down through generations, this White Christmas Coconut Pie is truly a winter dream come to life. It has an airy and creamy coconut filling with whipped cream and toasted coconut on top. Have a slice as you watch the snow fall down outside the window.
Gingered Peach and Blackberry Pie
Local stone fruits are out of season, but grocery stores can help you out with late season plums…and we encourage you to make a plummy version of this peachy pie. Blackberries (also available at the grocery store) add a flavor that’ll beat store-bought pies every time. The addition of ginger adds a special spiced kick to the air that takes this treat above and beyond.
Apple Pie
An Apple Pie is a traditional element of every dessert table and there’s a good reason why. The ooey-gooey filling of warm apples alongside a flakey crust and plenty of spices is truly undeniable. Take yourself back to the days of childhood and serve up this pie along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Sweet Potato Pie
This Sweet Potato Pie is a winter classic! It’s moist and delicious, and full of the baking spices you know and love. Thankfully, this recipe is also simple to make, with a pie crust that won’t have you tearing your hair out.
Cherry Blueberry Pie
Can’t decide between two fruits for your pie? Why not use both! Our Cherry Blueberry Pie is full of bites of fresh, bitter cherries and sweet blueberries. You can choose to use an equal amount of both or change the percentage to your liking. We even add a creative star crust topping for a bit of dazzling during the holidays.
Whole Grain, Gluten-Free Mixed Berry Pie
It’s great to have a dessert baked that’s accessible to people with food allergies. This Mixed Berry Pie uses various fresh ingredients with a whole grain, gluten-free crust that allows anyone to enjoy it.
The Richest Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie
This Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie is like a huge Reese’s cup. It has a rich, dense peanut butter filling with chocolate ganache and whipped cream on top. We recommend adding on a half a Reese’s to each dollop of whipped cream for a little extra goodness.
Chocolate Mint Pie
The combination of chocolate and mint is an acquired taste. But, if you’re a fan, this Chocolate Mint Pie is one of the best desserts you can make. Creamy, rich chocolate mousse is livened up by the sharp, cool flavor of mint whipped cream. It’s a sweet treat for all ages from the kiddos to the grandparents.
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
What’s better than pecan pie? A Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie! The mix of smoky bourbon, sweet chocolate, and salty pecans is a gift to your tastebuds. Once you take a bite of the crunch of this pecan topping and sink your teeth into a creamy filling, you’ll be singing “Hallelujah!”
Dutch Apple Pie with a Twist
Apple Pie is such a classic cold-weather favorite — but this one is a bit of a twist on the traditional. The addition of sour cream to the apple filling makes it creamy but also adds a tangy flavor that offsets the sweetness perfectly. Finally, a crumble topping instead of a pie crust adds even more brown sugar and cinnamon-y goodness.
