When you want something sweet, it just feels so special to have a slice of homemade pie (especially when there's a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream involved). And though pies are synonymous with the decadence of holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, some of the best pie recipes are good other times of the year. Think: fruit pies or ice cream pies in the peak of summer, for example.
No matter what day it is or what you're craving, use this as your go-to guide to the best pie recipes that you can come back to for any celebration. First, you'll need Ree Drummond's perfect pie crust recipe, a press-in crust, an all-butter pie crust, or a graham cracker crust. Or just pick up a store-bought one. 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 classics like apple and pumpkin and cream pies to enjoy all year round.

Then review the handy dandy guide on 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 and get baking!
