A Southern holiday treat that should have a place at every table, this easy pecan pie tastes of dark caramel, toasted nuts and a little bit of bourbon.

Lee Ann Flemming, one of the best bakers in Greenwood, made 53 chocolate pies during filming of The Help, including 12 vegan and gluten-free versions for actress Bryce Dallas Howard.

Black-and-Blue Pie with Brown Sugar Crumb

Credit: Victor Protasio
Get the recipe

For a juicy but not runny blackberry pie, crush one large handful of the berry filling to make the perfect consistency. The black-and-blue filling can consist of any mix of any brambleberries and blackberries (in this case it’s huckleberries). The crumb topping adds texture and allowing it to slice cleanly by absorbing some of the juices. See More: Blackberry Recipes

Lemon Meringue Pie

A homemade version of creamy sweetened condensed milk gives the tart lemon custard in this pie an especially delicious texture and flavor. The billowy Italian meringue topping browns beautifully under the broiler if you don't have a kitchen torch on hand.

Gingered Pumpkin Pie with Candied Pepitas

Go to recipe

Fall spice lovers will swoon over the custard and pumpkin dessert pie made for holiday gatherings. This take on pumpkin pie has the smooth texture of the classic, but with extra layers of ginger-caramel flavor. Candied pepitas on top add extra flavor and crunch. Revert to the classic or try other variations like Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin-Chiffon Pie.

Tangy Key Lime Pie

Get the recipe

Based on a recipe from Florida Keys Cooking pamphlet published in 1946, this pie is not the usual dense and cloyingly sweet version. Folding in beaten egg whites gives it a light, mousse-like texture.

Deep-Dish Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

Credit: Tina Rupp
Go to recipe

This strawberry rhubarb pie recipe is classic and perfectly tart-sweet. The dough can be made with just butter, but swapping in some lard yields an even flakier crust. Using cornstarch makes for a thick, delicious fruit filling.

Mountain Rose Apple Pie

Credit: Con Poulos
Get the recipe

This take on apple pie turns more towards an apple crumble, with a buttery and crispy crumble layered on top full of rolled oats and dark brown sugar. We dare you not to eat the whole thing.

Blueberry Pie with Rye Crust

Credit: © Con Poulos
Get the recipe

Blueberry pie is one of the oldest American pie recipes and is one of the easiest pies to make since the fruit filling requires minimal preparation. This version has small circles cut out of the rye crust, which not only looks dramatic but also allows moisture to evaporate from the fruit filling as it cooks, deepening the flavor.

Georgia Peach Pie

Credit: Quentin Bacon
Go to recipe

When you slice into this delicious pie, don't be surprised by the gap between the filling and the top crust. This happens when a pie is baked at high heat because the crust sets before the fruit in the filling has cooked down.
