Here at Delish, we are always in the middle of the pie vs. cake argument. It's a hard one to win, both of the arguments are just so compelling (and go perfectly with whipped cream or ice cream.) But for those days you just need a hearty, buttery-crisp slice of pie, we've got you covered with our top favorite recipes. Our quick, easy pie crust is way more buttery than store-bought, too (pssst, we've also got a gluten-free pie crust.)
I must admit something personal: my favorite dessert found at a wedding was, in fact, a pie buffet. Cherry pie followed by apple pie, chocolate pie, coconut cream pie, and lemon meringue pie? Absolute bliss. If you go the pie-only route for your nuptials, please do let me know. (You might even want to make them mini and pull together a pie board.)
From pecan pie to pumpkin pie, there's nothing quite like a warm pie fresh from the oven in the cooler months—though TBH, we bake pies all year long. And for those days you just can't with your oven, we have all the no-bake pies of your dreams, too.
Can't decide between pies? We've mixed all your favorites together for when those indecisive cravings strike. Apple crumble pie, peanut butter banana pudding cheesecake pie, and even a birthday cake pie are all such easy choices.
What to top on these pies is a highly contested topic at Delish, as well. Are you team whipped cream or ice cream? Whatever you choose, you really can't go wrong.
