types of pie

when you’re eating it a la mode or a la…uh not-mode, pie has a place in our collective consciousness as the ultimate comfort food. Let this list of different kinds of pie flavors be an inspiration to explore new fruit fillings, crusts, toppings, and perhaps more.

Mississippi Mud Pie
Distinguishing Features: Chocolate filling, chocolate sauce drizzled on top, and—in case that wasn’t enough chocolate—a chocolate graham-cracker crust; it’s usually infused with other flavors (think coffee liqueur or butterscotch); as you might imagine, it’s a favorite in Mississippi.


Apple Crisp (Or Apple Crumble)
Distinguishing Features: A variant of the apple pie, the Apple Crisp/Apple Crumble adds a crumbly, buttery topping that gives the pie extra texture. It’s mostly an autumn pie (to correspond with apple harvest in cooler climate), but no one will judge you if you want want one in the summer.

Banoffee
Distinguishing Features: An almost exclusively English pie, Banoffee is one of the best-known versions of the banana cream pie; bananas and toffee are its two must-have ingredients (the name Banoffee is a combo of the two), but you might also find a good heaping of dulce de leche.


Mixed Berry Pie
Distinguishing Features: A little bit of this, a little bit of that; these pies usually include two or three of the following: blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries; if you’re in the upper Atlantic Canadian provinces, this might be called a “bumbleberry pie,” which is just delightful, isn’t it?

French Silk Pie
Distinguishing Features: It’s the chocolate pie: chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and bittersweet chocolate shavings; favorite pie of children at family reunions everywhere; despite its name, French Silk is a purely American invention, the winner of a 1951 Pillsbury competition.

Blueberry Pie
Distinguishing Features: The best blueberries you can find, plus cinnamon; official state dessert of Maine, but don’t sleep on blueberry pies from Michigan, Washington, Maryland, and Oregon—all high blueberry-producing states.

Blackberry Pie
Distinguishing Features: Either fresh blackberries or a blackberry jam, a small mountain of sugar, and sometimes some zesty lemon or lemon juice.

Strawberry Pie
Distinguishing Features: Strawberries. Lots and lots and lots of strawberries (ideally fresh strawberries), often mixed with a strawberry gelatin. We recommend some whipped cream on top to cut some of the sweetness.

Coconut Cream Pie
Distinguishing Features: The king of cream pies, it’s a messy conglomeration of coconut custard, whipped cream, and toasted coconut flakes; eat this and imagine you’re on some deserted tropical island with rows of coconut trees (and somehow you have access to pie-making supplies).

Peach Pie
Distinguishing Features: Peaches, plus a sprinkling of nutmeg or cinnamon; it’s especially popular in peach-producing regions, like Georgia; some take their love of peach pie to the next level and create “peace pie moonshine” out of peach schnapps and grain alcohol.

Pot Pie
Distinguishing Features: The ultimate savory pie; gravy meets chicken, beef, or lamb (plus veggies), tucked inside a pie crust and served steaming hot; second only to chicken-noodle soup for best dishes to enjoy on a cold winter’s day, ideally from inside a log cabin while seated next to a roaring fire.

Sweet Potato Pie
Distinguishing Features: Sweet potato filling, often with a dollop of whipped cream on top, sometimes topped with a layer of marshmallows instead; a staple of Southern soul food, especially during the holidays.

Rhubarb Pie
Distinguishing Features: A whole lot of rhubarb, often paired with strawberries; one of the tartest pie flavors; a tempting treat for anyone on the “rhubarb diet” (yes, this is real).

Cheesecake
Distinguishing Features: First off—yes, this is a pie despite having “cake” in it's name, since it uses a graham-cracker crust that’s synonymous with pies. The other main ingredient is cream cheese or ricotta, which can be combined with myriad other flavors (mocha, Oreos, peanut butter, etc.)

Sugar Cream Pie
Distinguishing Features: Brown sugar, butter, and cream; a simple treat, but one of the most addictive types of pies; popular in French and Quebecois cuisines, as well as the Midwest USA, where it is also called “Hoosier Pie” due to its association with Indiana.

Lemon Meringue Pie
Distinguishing Features: Lemon custard with a meringue topping; this is that pie with the puffy, enlarged top that looks so soft and inviting, you kinda want to use it as a pillow; it’s also grandma’s favorite pie, often.

Cherry Pie
Distinguishing Features: Cherries, namely Montmorency cherries, which are tarter and more sour than your usual Bing cherry; a favorite during the 4th of July; namesake of the 1990 chart-topping hit from glam-rockers Warrant.

Key Lime Pie
Distinguishing Features: Lime juice (specifically one from a Key lime), meringue topping, and graham-cracker crust; naturally, the pie is heavily associate with the Florida Keys, and Key West holds a festival for the pie every 4th of July Weekend.

Pumpkin Pie
Distinguishing Features: Pumpkin-flavored custard, ginger, nutmeg; it’s a Thanksgiving classic, in part because you can use your leftover Halloween jack-o-lantern for its stuffing; the pecan pie is its heated rival.

Apple Pie
Distinguishing Features: Apples, sugar, and cinnamon, often served with vanilla ice cream on the side; as the Great American Pie, it’s sometimes grouped with baseball and hot dogs as a purely American symbol (though the English and the Dutch have been making pies with apples for centuries).

Pecan Pie
Distinguishing Features: Pecans, corn syrup (or brown sugar, or both); considered a southern dish, but you’ll find it anywhere you find pies; especially popular as a dessert during Thanksgiving or Christmas; the pumpkin pie is its heated rival.

finally finished this after 2 hours.
