Even those who don’t want to bake during the hot summer months will find a pie recipe on this list. Just look at the no-bake pies, like the key lime pie or the Oreo pie, that will keep you cool when the weather heats up.

Have a hankering for ice cream? Try the cool and refreshing strawberry ice cream pie with a waffle cone crust! While some of these pies use Ree's perfect pie crust, you can pick something a bit simpler and opt for a quick graham cracker crumb instead. "Few things are much better than pie," Ree Drummond likes to say. And who could disagree?
