  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.
