All answers are valid, except pecan. Fuck pecan pie, it’s gross.
It’s hard to pick just one, but Cherry Cream Cheese just edges into the top spot for me.
Second is sweet potato.
I only discovered sweet potato pie like two years ago, but it’s definitely a top contender. It’s everything pumpkin pie wishes it could be.
Keep in mind that Pie Day comes twice each year: 3/14 and 7/22. 22/7 is the most common approximation of Pi.
I think my favorite pie is the Duo Silk made by a local restaurant that specializes in pie. It has a layer of French silk above a layer of peanut butter silk. And the top is covered with chocolate shavings and miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s at least a week’s worth of desert calories in one serving, but occasionally worth it.
Key Lime Pie until the day I die.
Rhubarb pie. Rhubarb pie is pretty tart. Not strawberry-rhubarb, which a lot of restaurants do and is milder.
Pecan pie is lovely, you just haven’t grown in all your taste buds yet. It is not the best, but a good pecan pie is very good.
Key lime is a strong contender, as I think is strawberry rhubarb, but for me one pie reigns supreme. Nothing beats a good buttermilk pie.
Maybe that’s it. I haven’t tried pecan pie very many times, maybe I just never had a good one.
You might also just not like it. I was just talking a little shit. There are a lot of bad examples out there though. Store bought is never the best, it has to be homemade. It is not a pie I have mastered the art of making, yet, myself. I have had a good one though and it was worth the calories.
Apple, hot, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nothing else comes close. Except cheesecake, but that’s not a pie.
I allow cheesecake as a pie, because it’s more pie than cake. I mean, it doesn’t even include flour.
Shoofly made with Turkey table syrup instead of molasses.
Funny cake is a close second, it more depends if I want a browned sugar or chocolate flavor.
How to say you’re from PA without saying you’re from PA.
You know it! 😉
In honor of the upcoming Tau Day I shall choose 2 pis
Chicken Pot and Chocolate Cream
Peach cobbler, hot, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Wait. That’s a cheese cake disguised as a pie!
Despite the name, I consider cheesecake to be more of a pie than a cake.
No eggs, and it’s not cooked, so not cheese cake. Although, since cheese cake is cake in name only (CINO), it counts as a pie.
My favorite is strawberry, because it was my grandfather’s favorite. I have a good memory of having strawberry pie with him. However, I do feel the need to defend pecan pie here, because the best pie I’ve ever had was pecan. It was piled high with pecans and only lightly seasoned, so it was almost like a sweet and savory thing with Christmas-y spices.
I know some don’t think that pizza qualifies as pie, but surely Chicago deep dish must?
Dessert pie-wise, cherry is always my go to.
I’d love to try making a chocolate cherry pie sometime.
Strawberry rhubarb with mostly rhubarb. Two crusts, nine of that crumble garbage and a big lump of vanilla ice cream on top.
Bacon and egg the best pie ever
