Looking for the perfect dessert? You really can't go wrong with a homemade pie! That's why Ree Drummond has so many pie recipes in her archives: fruit pies, cream pies, holiday pies, and even hand pies! Whether it's a traditional Thanksgiving pie or a fun no-bake pie for a quick get-together with friends, this list has tons of ideas for any occasion. You can stick to the classics with her recipe for pecan pie or try something completely out of the box like fudgy brownie pie. But if you ask her husband, Ladd, it's all about the "good ol' basic, can't-go-wrong, everyone-loves-it, super-easy-to-make, been-around-forever" chocolate pie that he would eat a slice of any day of the week.

But first, you'll need Ree's perfect pie crust recipe, a press-in cookie crust, all-butter pie crust, or puff pastry. And when all else fails, just pick up a store-bought crust. There's nothing wrong with a store-bought shortcut, and it'll save you a ton of time in making decorative pie crust designs! Then, pick from one of the many pie recipes ahead, including cherry crumb pie, buttermilk pie, apple pie bars, or a grasshopper pie that's perfect for Christmastime.

Looking for more pie baking tips? Check out our guide to how to crimp pie crust so it's perfect every time. Now, the only thing left to do is get out your favorite pie pan.
