There's a reason why pie is such a crowd-pleasing dessert—there's a pie recipe for each and every occasion! There are Thanksgiving pies in the fall, no-bake pies in the summer, and a variety of fruit pies and cream pies to enjoy all year-round. When you're looking for a traditional holiday pie, nobody does it better than Ree Drummond. Her pecan pie is an all-time favorite that will "wow your taste buds," she says. It also happened to be one of our PW-readers' favorite pies, according to a poll on Instagram.

But first, you'll need Ree's perfect pie crust recipe, a press-in crust, all-butter pie crust, or graham cracker crust. And when all else fails, just pick up a store-bought crust. There's nothing wrong with a 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 butterscotch pie topped with fluffy meringue, cranberry apple crumb pie, or a grasshopper pie that's perfect for Christmastime. Looking to get creative with your pies? Try a scrumptious s’mores pie or a cinnamon roll apple pie for a sweet dessert mash-up.
