Fall In Love With These Pies

Whether you have plans to host a holiday dinner soon, or you’re just craving a homemade dessert, you’re sure to enjoy any of these popular pie recipes.

Pumpkin Pie

Nothing evokes that fall feeling like the scent of pumpkin spices, and this pumpkin pie packs them all into one creamy dessert. For the filling, you’ll need 15 ounces of pure pumpkin, and you can certainly use puree from a can if you don’t have a sugar pumpkin handy. Accompanying the pumpkin are the seasonal favorite flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg, plus a little vanilla extract, cream, and sugar. It takes about an hour to bake this pie, and its autumn-essential taste would be welcome on any fall day all the way through Christmas dinner.

Lemon Meringue

If you prefer your pie slightly tart, a classic lemon meringue pie should hit the spot. You’ll need both lemon juice and lemon zest to make the sweet yet subtly sour filling, plus egg yolks, butter, and cornstarch to yield the proper consistency. A stand mixer is nearly a necessity to make the meringue, as the egg whites must be whisked with sugar, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla until peaks form. This pie is best served chilled, so let it cool and set in the fridge for about four hours after it’s out of the oven.

Chocolate Silk

Chocolate pie is always a crowd pleaser, and this silky-smooth recipe is bound to be a hit around the holidays. You’ll need to cook the eggs into a custard, and some cooks prefer to use coffee instead of hot water in this case for a more robust flavor. Remember to use a larger bowl when you prep the custard, as it will give your hand some extra distance from the hot stove, and it will also take less time to cook the eggs.
