28 Fantastic Fruit Pies

When you think of fruit pies, you may automatically turn to apple pies. After all, this is an incredibly popular and delicious dessert that many people enjoy baking. 

Yet, the truth is that there are a wide variety of other fruit pies that you can try, from strawberries to limes. The great thing about these pies is that they are filled with freshness and flavor.

These luscious fillings are perfect when wrapped in a light and flaky crust.

Fruit pies are ideal for the spring and summer, though they can be served all year round. Warm pies work particularly well on cold winter nights.

So if you want to make some delectable fruit pies, here are 28 fantastic recipes for you to try!

1. Strawberry Pie

Strawberries are brilliant in pies due to their sweet and juicy tastes. Despite this, some strawberry pie recipes can go overboard with the sweetness.

Luckily, this sensational strawberry pie recipe avoids this fate. The strawberry pie filling is sweet but not overpowering, thanks to the inclusion of lemon juice, apples, and vanilla, giving it a deeper flavor.

This pie’s lattice topping gives it a wholesome aesthetic that sets it apart from other fruit pies. Despite looking incredible, this lattice pie crust is extremely easy.

2. Pineapple Pie

Though the world is divided as to whether pineapple belongs in pizza, we can all agree that it works wonderfully in a pie!

This tropical fruit filling has a gorgeously tangy taste. This is due not only to the pineapple, but also to the wide range of flavorings used, such as brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

There is also an optional boozy twist to add a hint of rum to the dish, which is perfect for adults.
