How to Make Perfect, Flaky Pie Crust Every Time
by CLAIRE LOWER 18/11/24 MILK STREET
For years, pie crust has been my great culinary white whale. No matter which recipe I used, it slumped, fell apart when transferring to the pan or baked up flat and dense. I tried all sorts of tricks (like vodka), store-bought doughs—which, as a food writer, was embarrassing—and lots of mental gymnastics, subbing tart shells where I could and claiming I “liked cobbler more than pie anyway.” But there’s no substitute for a buttery, flaky pie crust, especially during the holidays. With the release of “Milk Street Bakes,” I knew it was time to finally master pie pastry.
To Find the 3 Best Pie Pans, I Baked Dozens of Pie Crusts (and Whole Pies)
by GRACE KELLY 10/4/25 serious eats
You might think of a pie pan as an afterthought, a mere vehicle for making and serving pies—surely it can’t matter as much as a good pie crust or winning filling? But the truth is, the material and shape of a pie plate can make a difference, affecting crust color, composition, and how easy it is to actually get pie slices out.
Perfect Apple Pie
by J. KENJI LOPEZ-ALT 17/2/25 serious eats
The first dealt with the science of pie crust, along with a recipe for foolproof pie dough. TL/DR version: You don't have to cut butter into your flour very carefully. The key is to add the flour in two batches, forming a flour/butter paste with the first.
How to Make a Herringbone Pie Crust
by STELLA PARKS 23/12/24 serious eats
The more pies we bake, the more we feel comfortable handling the dough; the more comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to bake another pie, leading to....more pie.
Vegan Appleberry Pie
by Vegan Pie in the Sky Cooking
It may sound like a mystery fruit, but appleberry is the best of fruit pie worlds: the substantial, hearty texture of apples fused with fresh or frozen sweet, tart berries. —Tara Parker-Pope
Lemon-Blueberry Streusel Pie
Lemon and blueberry bring out the best in each other, so it’s only natural that they make a truly impressive pie when layered together. A crown of cinnamon streusel adds a sweet crunch.
How to Make a Stunning Lattice-Top Pie, According to a Pastry Chef
by STELLA PARKS 2/11/24 serious eats
These are great for any sort of super-juicy fruits, because the semi-open-faced design allows for evaporation, resulting in a thicker, more concentrated filling. Even if you've never made a pie, much less a lattice, I swear you can do it. It's basically the same technique we all picked up making construction-paper placemats in the second grade.
Pie of the Week: Shaker Lemon Pie
by LAUREN WEISENTHAL 25/8/20 serious eats
If the idea of cutting up whole lemons and using them (flesh, pith and peel) as a pie filling causes you to pucker involuntarily, then you're not alone. And yet, as caustic as they may sound, whole lemons, sliced very thin, are the main ingredient in a classic Shaker Lemon Pie, which, with the help of a good amount of sugar and some eggs, makes for a unique and totally delicious treat.

12 Thanksgiving Pies That Will Upstage the Turkey
by CLAIR LOWER 9/11/23 MILK STREET
Everyone has their Thanksgiving dinner darlings, and some—like pie—can be a little bratty. Crusts can crack and slump, custards can curdle, and apples can turn mushy and bland if not given the respect and consideration they deserve. No more.
A Foolproof Rhubarb Pie That Won’t Turn to Soup, Thanks to a Genius Trick
by GENEVIVE YAM 23/5/25 serious eats
After baking more than a dozen pies, I landed on the ideal formula for sweet, tangy strawberry rhubarb pie.
Apple Crème Fraîche Pie Recipe
by LAUREN WEISENTHAL 6/5/19 serious eats
This pie aims to elevate the humble Clafoutis; a rustic, French dessert composed of fruit baked into a simple, egg and cream custard. I never could quite love Clafoutis because it lacked structure— scooped from the baking dish onto a plate, it wanted for visual appeal and textural variety. I've always believed that it could be improved with a little help from a crisp, buttery crust.
Savory Crinkle Pie
by LEAH COLINS 28/2/25 serious eats
This hearty vegetable phyllo pie is crunchy, creamy, and cheesy all in one bite.
Chickpea, Spinach and Feta Pie
by Hetty Lui McKinnon 14/5/25 Cooking
Bringing together inspiration from two great Greek pies, spanakopita (spinach and feta) and prasopita (leek), this one-skillet dish also incorporates chickpeas for extra heartiness.
Nigerian Meat Pie
by OZOZ SOKIH 31/8/23 serious eats
Meat pies, or beef hand pies―flaky pastries filled with a curry-spiced mixture of ground beef, onions, potatoes, and carrots―are common at home and as street snacks in Nigeria.
British Mince Pies

This holiday season, take the time to make your own British mince pies, which have a boozy mixture of grated fresh apples, dried fruit, brown sugar, and citrus.
Kale and Onion Pie Recipe
by Blake Royer 26/4/19 Serious eats
The crust is unusual—it's made with mayonnaise and sour cream—but involves no work of folding in butter or rolling things out. It's more like a batter, which is as easy as mixing together some ingredients, spreading it in the bottom of a pie dish, and layering kale and onions on top.
Key Lime Pie
by Vaughn Vreeland 8/7/25 Cooking
Key limes, with their distinct tartness and slightly floral aroma, lend a delightfully sharp flavor to this classic American pie. They can be hard to find, especially out of season and outside of Florida, and juicing the diminutive limes can sometimes feel like a big effort.
Coffee and Maple Chess Pie
by Vaughn Vreeland 25/11/24 cooking
This pie is like enjoying maple-soaked pancakes with a cup of coffee, but it’s great any time of day. A hint of bourbon, or vanilla if you please, enhances a custardy chess pie base that’s then topped with a slightly sweetened espresso-infused whipped cream.

Cranberry Citrus Meringue Pie

This delightfully tart pie is an autumnal twist on a classic lemon meringue. Bright, tangy citrus curd is topped with cranberry Swiss meringue.
Buttermilk Pie
"This recipe was originally noted by my wife on a cooking show on TV. It was touted as an Amish recipe. All we had for a long time was the list of ingredients on the back of an old envelope. We lost it for a good while and after I found it, I originally posted it so I would never lose it again. Thank you all for all your interest ... this is my absolute favorite pie. During the "lost" phase I must have gained 20 pounds trying numerous different buttermilk pie recipes .
Simple Peach Pie
"This recipe is from C.A. Lynd of lyndsgourmet.com. Every year we anxiously wait for Lynd's farm to put out their peaches. They gave us this recipe with the peaches I just bought and it is simple and wonderful."
Colorado Pie
"This is my adopted recipe and I haven't made it yet. This main dish pie is a family favourite from The More-with-Less Cookbook. Make 2 pies and freeze one for a busy weeknight."
Famous New Zealand Bacon & Egg Pie
"This is my mum's, so the BEST pie ever! It is fantastic served with ketchup and in my opinion is probably better cold. Great for picnics."

Tamale Pie
"I recently found out that I am severally anemic (sp) and in my last trimester. I am searching the internet for some recipes that use Farina (Cream of Wheat) in them to help with my iron intake."
Old-Fashion Oatmeal Pie
"This great pie recipe goes back over 100 years. The recipe came from my grandmother's grandmother who was living in Charleston, South Carolina during the 1860's. Family history has it, that during the Civil War, since pecans were in short supply in the South, oatmeal was substituted for the traditional pecan pie and the results were astonishing. Now served at every family gathering since that time."
Red Cherry Pie
"My recipe published by Southern Living. I found it about 30 years ago in a LHJ flyer on award winning recipes from country fairs. It's my favorite cherry pie recipe,and cherry pie's my favorite pie."
Chocolate Cream Pie
"This pie is so rich. It is so quick and easy. It is also enjoyed quick and easy. You must try this for your next Chocolate Pie. I HAVE to make it EVERY Thanksgiving, especially for son Kevin and son-in-law Dwain. My sister-in-law, Sherry, entered it in their 1996 church cookbook, "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread", Wise County, Texas."
Pear Pie
"A sour cream custard and streusel mixture form the topping for the pear pie. This pie won in a local baking competition."
Taste of Mexico Pie
"Inspired by a cheeseburger pie recipe clipped from a magazine,I made this up while hungry for tacos. I didn't have any taco shells, so I used pie crust."

Joe's Stone Crab Key Lime Pie
"I made this for my grandparent's 61st wedding anniversary recently. They lived in Florida in their youth, and loved Joe's Stone, and have lamented on occasion that they will never be able to go back (they now live in Virginia). The family rallied 'round and ordered the crab claws directly from Joe's, got a Joe's Stone Crab Cookbook, and prepared the rest of the meal directly from it. What a fantastic surprise it was... and this was a very sweet end to the night. NOTE: I was only able to find about 8 key limes, which wasn't enough juice. I supplemented with Nellie & Joe's Key Lime juice without a problem. Also, I thought the pie was so rich it didn't even need any whipped cream."
I thought no summer dessert was more quintessential than a golden, crispy-lidded pie, bubbling with juices. But that was before I tackled this cherry biscuit cobbler. I was thinking—really, hoping—that a great summer fruit dessert that didn’t require all the chilling, rolling, and assembly of pie must exist. After a couple of trials, I landed on a recipe that has it all: equal parts juicy cherries and fluffy, easy-to-assemble biscuits; plus tastes just as good fresh from the oven for dessert as it is cold for breakfast the next morning.
