1. Brownie Pie

It’s kind of amazing what adding buttery pie crust can do to a good brownie!

With this recipe, the light pie crust helps to mellow that rich chocolate flavor just a little. 

It also gives you the chance to add a layer of caramel under the brownie that will turn gooey as the whole thing bakes.

2. Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie

Buttermilk pie is a southern twist on the classic British egg custard.

The main difference is that we use buttermilk instead of heavy cream for a lovely tangy flavor.

The creamy custard filling with a buttery pie crust is divine.

It gives serious creme brulee vibes. But you don’t need to be an expert baker to pull off this sweet pie recipe.

3. Cherry Pie with Cherry Pie Filling

I’ve tried canned fillings, but they aren’t always great. Some can be pretty flavorless and not sweet enough for my palate. 

My advice would be to try out a few until you find one you like, and then modify it to make it perfect.

This recipe is a great way to jazz up store-bought ingredients to taste homemade!

4. No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie

When it comes to no-bake pies, you really can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. 

You’ll more or less make a simple cheesecake filling (without the eggs), beating the cream cheese until completely smooth, and then adding in the sugar and peanut butter.

This mix is super dense and creamy, and would make an excellent pie filling as is.

5. Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie

Who knew apple pies could be even more delicious? Sweet pie recipes don’t always have to be so tedious and time-consuming.

Premade cinnamon rolls work as a crust (so no tedious crust-making!). Top it with apple pie filling, and a streusel crumble on top. 

Seriously, you have to try this recipe!

This recipe is crazy easy to make and can be on your table in less than 30 minutes.

I don’t know about you, but I get that pumpkin spice craving year-round.

So much so that I actively cook, puree, and freeze pumpkin during fall to make this pie in the spring.

Deep-dish pie crusts are a must for pumpkin pies since they give you so much more filling to enjoy.

If you’re looking for something a little different, something you don’t usually see at summer BBQs, this one’s for you!

The base of the filling is a blend of cream cheese, condensed milk, and lemon juice. So it’s creamy, tangy, and not overly sweet. 

To this, you’ll add a whole (drained) can of crushed pineapples, some maraschino cherries, and a few chopped pecans.

11. Tomato Pie

Unlike some tomato quiche recipes that ask you to chop up a few cherry tomatoes and stir them into the egg custard, this recipe uses big thick slices and lots of them!

It’s thick and flavorful (thanks to fresh herbs), and oh-so-cheesy!

Seriously, that tomato and cheese filling with a crispy crust is amazing.

17. Banoffee Pie Recipe

Banoffee pie is a scrumptious mix of bananas, caramel, and whipped cream. 

It usually has a digestive biscuit base and a thick caramel filling made using condensed milk (dulce de leche). 

Graham crackers will work too, but not pastry as it needs to be something crumbly. Even chocolate chip cookies will work if they’re crisp.

18. Super Easy S’mores Chocolate Pie

This specific recipe has a gooey, chocolate filling which is essentially chocolate ganache – chocolate and heavy cream.

The more chocolate you add, the firmer the filling will be. 

For that authentic s’more taste, a Graham cracker crust is mandatory. But if you want it even more intense, feel free to use an Oreo crust.

These 30 pie recipes are simply irresistible! Among them, this caramel apple pie stands out as a sweet triumph.

Ingredients

  • 2 (9 inch) homemade or store-bought pie crust

  • 5 cups peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (for egg wash)

  • Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess from the edges and crimp to create a decorative border.
  • In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice until well coated.
  • Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the apples. Dot the top of the apples with butter slices.
  • Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the filling. Trim any overhang and crimp the edges to seal. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Remove pie from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
  • Drizzle slices with more caramel sauce. Serve each with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Chill your pie dough before rolling it out to ensure a flakier crust.
  • Place a pie shield or foil around the edges of the crust if they begin to brown too quickly.
  • The nutritional information provided does not include the optional serving of ice cream.
