Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Pie
The minute the calendar flips to April, spring fever begins to set in. Sure we have some cold days ahead—and the reality of life here in Indiana is we probably have a couple more snow storms in our future—but with warmer weather approaching and the sun not setting at 5 o'clock anymore, we can feel springtime in the air. Let's celebrate with 75 of thebest spring pie recipes! I'm talking flaky crusts, thick fruit centers, creamy no-bake fillings and spring-inspired ingredients that will make you want to grab a fork and devour these insanely good pies.
When it comes to great pies, the options are about as endless as our imaginations. However, the vast varieties can indeed be broken down into four main categories.
We all have our favorites, and this debate can cause some major arguments at family holidays, but as far as most Googled pie recipes go the top three choices are quite consistent with Americans:
It's also interesting to note that many lists reminded us that savory pies are up there with the best pies. Chicken Pot Pie even jumped into the third position of most beloved pies.
When it comes to the countless ways we enjoy a slice of pie, looking at only the top three for favorite choices didn't seem fair. So, let's take a look at the Top 10 favorite pies we can't get enough of. Let's see if your favorite made the cut!
Do you agree with the list? I have to say there are some missing that our family loves: Sugar Cream (the official state pie of my home Indiana) Coconut Cream, Raspberry and Peach Pie just to name a few.
In this collection, you will find ways to please every pie lover in your house. Do you want fruit-filled pies? How does Lemon Meringue, Blueberry Lemon Crunch, Raspberry Peach or Homemade Cherry Pie sound? Do you enjoy the ease of no-bake desserts as much as I do? The No Bake Butterscotch and Strawberry Pretzel pies are all going on my must-make list!
For me, when springtime arrives, if I am making a pie, I'm gravitating towards cool, creamy and/or fruit pies. The Peach Blackberry Pie is perfect now or after a trip to the farmers' market this summer. The Frozen Strawberry Pie is every berry lover's dream. Combine two best spring pies into one delicious dessert with the Banana Coconut Pie!
Your kids will go crazy for the Kool-Aid Pies, and their colors would look so pretty on your spring table. With the sunnier, warmer days the Peach Ice Cream Pie will be a cool treat. Don't worry if you are craving chocolate because the Oreo Cookie Cake is out-of-this-world good.
For the adults at your table, give them a little boozy surprise with Tequila Key Lime Pie and Frozen Strawberry Margarita Pie! As a Hoosier girl, I am happy to be including a terrific Sugar Cream Pie recipe, our official state pie of Indiana. If you've never heard of it or tasted it, I promise you won't be disappointed.
With their French names and overlapping uses, it can be easy to confuse remoulade and aioli. But there are actually many differences between the two sauces.
Acidic ingredients are known for tenderizing meat and bringing along a burst of flavor - and this one will work particularly well in your jerky recipe.
Your smoker isn't just for meats and fish. You can also prep veggies like cauliflower this way too for a perfectly crispy, savory result that will wow your bbq.
