  Lemon Meringue Pie

  Lemon meringue pie is a crisp blind-baked crust filled with a bright, tart lemon custard and crowned with a cloud of soft, golden-toasted meringue. The filling is thickened with cornstarch and egg yolks so it slices clean rather than running, while the meringue goes on hot filling and seals to the crust edge to keep it from weeping. It is the classic three-part balance of buttery, silky, and sweet-tart in every forkful.

  Classic Apple Pie

  A true American classic: a flaky, all-butter double crust wrapped around a mountain of spiced apples that bake down into a tender, jammy filling with a clean, sliceable set. A mix of tart and firm-sweet apples keeps the flavor bright and the slices from turning to mush, while a proper cooling rest lets the juices thicken so every wedge holds its shape.

  Fresh Rhubarb Pie

  This fresh rhubarb pie packs tart, ruby-pink stalks into a buttery double crust, with just enough sugar and cornstarch to turn their juices into a glossy, sliceable filling. A quick freeze before baking keeps the pastry flaky and shatter-crisp, while a full cool lets the center set so every wedge holds its shape. It's the honest, old-fashioned spring pie: bright, jammy, and not too sweet.

  Fresh Strawberry Pie

  This is the classic American summer pie: a crisp, buttery crust piled high with fresh, barely-cooked strawberries suspended in a glossy ruby glaze made from the berries themselves. Because only the glaze meets heat, the whole berries stay bright, juicy and fresh-tasting, while cornstarch sets everything into clean, sliceable wedges. A cloud of lightly sweetened whipped cream is the only finish it needs.

  Key Lime Pie

  Key lime pie is Florida's signature dessert: a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a custard of tart key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. The acid in the juice thickens the milk while the yolks set it in a short bake, giving you a filling that is dense, silky, and bracingly tangy rather than gummy. A cloud of barely sweet whipped cream on top balances the pucker.

  Sweet Potato Pie

  This Southern-style sweet potato pie bakes roasted sweet potatoes into a silky, custard-soft filling warmly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla under a flaky butter crust. Roasting instead of boiling drives off excess moisture, so the custard sets firm and tastes deeply of caramelized sweet potato rather than watered-down mash. It slices lighter than pumpkin pie and cuts clean once fully chilled.

  Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

  This is a classic American double-crust strawberry rhubarb pie: jammy sweet strawberries balanced by tart, tender rhubarb under a deeply golden, flaky all-butter crust. Macerating the fruit and thickening with cornstarch pulls out excess juice so the filling sets into clean, sliceable wedges instead of a puddle. Baking on a preheated sheet pan crisps the bottom crust while the top turns burnished and shattery.

  Blueberry Pie

  A classic double-crust blueberry pie with a flaky, all-butter pastry hugging a jammy filling of fresh berries brightened with lemon and just enough cornstarch to set into clean, glossy slices. Baking at a high heat first crisps the bottom crust before a lower finish lets the fruit bubble and thicken without weeping. The result is deeply blueberry, barely sweet, and sturdy enough to cut yet spoonable.

  Coconut Cream Pie

  A diner-classic coconut cream pie: a crisp blind-baked crust holding a thick coconut custard, crowned with softly whipped cream and golden toasted coconut. Cooking the filling with a full can of coconut milk plus whole milk and five egg yolks gives it real coconut depth and a silky, sliceable set, no pudding mix required. A long chill is the secret to clean slices, so the pie is best made hours ahead.

  Buttermilk Pie

  Buttermilk pie is a Southern heirloom dessert: a single flaky crust filled with a silky vanilla custard that gets its gentle tang from full-fat buttermilk. A spoonful of flour stabilizes the eggs so the filling bakes into a smooth, quivery set with a delicate golden top, and a partial blind bake keeps the bottom crust crisp instead of soggy. It tastes far richer than its humble pantry ingredients suggest, with a lemony brightness that keeps all that sugar and butter in check.

  Homemade Pumpkin Pie

  This is the classic American holiday pie: a silky, gently spiced pumpkin custard baked in a buttery, flaky all-butter crust you make yourself. Blind baking the shell and pouring the filling into it while it is still warm keeps the bottom crisp instead of soggy, and pulling the pie from the oven while the center still wobbles guarantees a smooth, crack-free slice. The flavor is deep and balanced — brown sugar warmth, real cinnamon and ginger, and plenty of cream — without ever tasting like a spice cabinet.
