This mango pie could be the answer to that. 

10. Summer Squash Pie

Squash is a food that we tend to associate with the colder, winter months. As the same can be said for most pies, a summer squash pie works really well. 

Summer squashes tend to be smaller and softer than winter squashes such as butternut squash.  This makes them perfect for making light and nutritious meals that the whole family will enjoy.

14. Summer Berry Pie With Cream

This summer berry pie is similar to the one we mentioned earlier in this article.  However, the addition of the whipped cream swirls just elevates this dish enough to be included too.

17. Sweet Kiwi Lime Pie

Another sweet dessert pie that isn’t overly sweet is this kiwi lime pie.  This is another great option for anyone who finds berry desserts too sickly sweet.  The kiwi, even when it is ripe and in season, has a little bit of a tart kick to it. 

This works really well in pies, especially when it is combined with lime.  The best thing about this pie is that you can use leftover berries to decorate it and make it even more beautiful.  

18. Free-Form Summer Fruit Tart

This free-form summer fruit tart is a little bit like the sweet cousin of the summer vegetable open pie we mentioned above.  The recipe doesn’t use a pie tin so you have to form the shape of the pie yourself, hence the free-form name. 

This creates a beautifully rustic, homemade pie.  Although the free-form look might not be to everyone’s taste, it certainly lets you know how much love went into preparing the dish.  

19. Late Summer Vegetable Enchilada Pie

Sometimes, food is all about the atmosphere.  

27. Summer Fish And Vegetable Pie

Another delicious savory pie option is this fish and vegetable pie recipe.  The combination of fresh fish and seafood with seasonal vegetables that have been freshly picked makes this a wonderfully light dish.

28. Summer Blueberry Pie

One fruit that boasts a whole boatload of health benefits is the humble blueberry.  With this summer blueberry pie recipe, you can fill your family with antioxidants and nutrients under the guise of a delicious pie.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Summer Pie?

A summer pie is any pie that is made using summer seasonal ingredients.  This most often refers to fruits and vegetables that are in season. 

However, it can also occasionally refer to the meat that is only in season at certain times of the year such as lamb.  

Do You Have To Use Fresh Ingredients For A Summer Pie?

Although the concept of a summer pie involves the use of ingredients that are becoming ripe during the summer months, they don’t always have to be fresh. 

If you are gathering your ingredients by growing them in your garden, or by foraging for them, you might have to freeze them.  Sometimes we end up with more food than we can reasonably eat before it is likely to spoil. 

This is particularly true for fruits and vegetables.  If you do end up with too much of a fruit or vegetable, you should freeze it as soon as possible so it retains its freshness.  

Final Thoughts

There are so many different options for summer pie that you can make throughout the season.  Whether you prefer savory or sweet pies, there is something for everyone on this list.
