So, I have a little bit of a problem. You see, last week I made this big Thanksgiving feast for everyone and that feast included two pies—chocolate angel nut pie and buttermilk pie. Buttermilk pie is Adam’s favorite thing in the world and I had yet to ever make it so I figured why not? I had a great recipe that we used to make at the yacht club and it turned out great—a creamy vanilla custard with a touch of tang from buttermilk and lemon zest. And even though none of my California friends had ever seemed to hear about buttermilk pie before, everyone loved it.
But then I started to pack. And deep clean my house. And make lists on ruled notebook paper just to have something to cross off. And somehow, SOMEHOW, my tattered recipe notebook is still sitting on my faux marble counter-top in California.
I’m in Georgia.
Oops.
So instead of pretending I remember the exact amount of flour, sugar and buttermilk (three days ago already feels like three years) I’ll leave you with a slew of pies from around the web that have left me drooling…One of which I’m making for tomorrow night’s feast with my family. I don’t know which though–what should I pick?? What are you having for dessert tomorrow night?
What I really want is a small bite of every one of the pies below. Heavy on the crust. Extra whipped cream.
Bailey’s Salted Caramel Chocolate Pie
No-Bake Black Bottom Pudding Pie
Almost No-Bake Pumpkin Cream Pie with Maple Whipped Cream
Double Chocolate Silk Cream Pie
Sweet Potato Pie with Ginger Struesel Topping
Vegan Apple Pear Pie with a Maple Walnut Crunch
Deep Dish Cranberry Apple Pie with Oatmeal Pecan Crumb Topping

November 23, 2011 at 3:19 amWow, I have a sudden craving to make about 9 pies. Too bad I am feeding a “crowd” of 3. And one of them is 4 years old 🙂
Sorry about the notebook laying back on your countertop. I am the queen of forgetting things when I travel.
But you’ve got this pie thing covered…thanks for all the links!

November 23, 2011 at 4:08 amheavy on the crust and extra homemade whipped cream– just what I’ve been enjoying these past few nights with an apple pie and hazelnut crust… mmmmm! Happy thanksgiving to you, I hope you get all the pie you hope for and more!

November 23, 2011 at 4:29 amButtermilk pie is my husband’s absolute favorite! I had never heard of it until I met him! So yummy!

November 23, 2011 at 4:29 amSo fun that I have been reading ELR since (before) you worked at the yacht club!! If I had to choose just one pie from this list (the horror!) I think I would go with the brownie al la mode. Man that thing looks delicious. I am a sucker for anything in a pie form that tastes like a rich brownie. Drool. Have a great time with your family!

November 23, 2011 at 4:31 amAww Jenna, thanks for including my no-bake chocolate pumpkin pie. It was such a sweet surprise.
Happy Thanksgiving!! I still don’t know what I’m having either. I might make two different kinds of pie… and you should too! After all, when is two pies not better than one, right? 🙂

November 23, 2011 at 4:47 amtough choices!! i’m a filling girl… unless it’s a graham cracker crust. in that case, all bets are off.

November 23, 2011 at 5:03 amSorry to hear about the notebook! But with all these fabulous pie recipes you put me in the mood to bake! Happy Thanksgiving!
Amanda
November 23, 2011 at 5:05 amAll of these pies sound amazing! I’m more of a filling girl myself, but I’ve recently been warming up to pie crust. 🙂
The chocolate bourbon pecan pie and salted caramel apple pie stood out to me, but I don’t think you can really go wrong with any of them. I’ll personally be enjoying some vegan pumpkin pie (recipe on my blog).
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011 at 5:19 amOh no, I’m so sorry to hear about the notebook! But on a more positive note, holy pies!!! These sound awesome. I’ve never had a buttermilk pie either but I think I need to find out what all the fuss is about!
Cassie
November 23, 2011 at 5:24 amI love buttermilk pie. The first time I had it I was so skeptical but it’s so wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011 at 6:24 amI’m making THIS : http://labellecuisine.com/archives/pie/pecan_truffle_tart.htm
It’s from a 1988 issue of Bon App. I made it ten years ago in high school, and my family still talks about it. I couldn’t remember what it was called, but luckily my mom still had it in a folder of dessert recipes in her kitchen. She scanned it and emailed it to me, but as it is way too splattered to read, she googled the name and found it : ) I can taste it already.

November 23, 2011 at 7:36 amWow…what a round-up of pies Jenna! I like 😉
As for dessert tomorrow night…hmmm a slice of Chocolate Angel Nut Pie sounds pretty spectacular! But I’d settle for any one of the above!

November 23, 2011 at 7:39 amOh, these all look delicious! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Lindsey
November 23, 2011 at 7:40 amLove Buttermilk pie! I hadn’t ever had it either until my boyfriend begged for one last year. His aunt used to make them for their family when he was younger. Another one he recently asked for was an applesauce cake which I haven’t made before either.
Thank you for putting up my sweet potato pie. Such a fun surprise. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011 at 7:49 amWhy don’t I see my grandma’s apple crisp recipe on here? 🙂 Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving, you deserve at least a few days off!!

November 23, 2011 at 8:16 amI heart sweet potato pie. So happy one made the list!
Stephie
November 23, 2011 at 8:35 amHahahaha I JUST posted that I did the EXACT same thing (not with pie, but with another recipe I was going to post this week). Somehow it makes me feel a million times better to know that other people do the same things that I do =)
Courtney
November 23, 2011 at 8:38 amButtermilk pie is my husband’s favorite too! I make it using his grammy’s recipe and we served the pies at our wedding in lieu of my husband’s groom’s cake. I’m from CA and my husband is from TX and none of our CA friends knew what it was either…but I got so many requests for the recipe following our wedding!

November 23, 2011 at 8:43 amI’m making a pumpkin tiramisu (my first time making ladyfingers!) for tomorrow. I don’t know if that helps or makes your decision more difficult….go with your gut (and your very knowledgeable tastebuds) 🙂
Alicia @beingLA
November 23, 2011 at 8:44 amI’m from CA and have never ever heard of a buttermilk pie! I guess there’s a first for everyone right? Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful recipes. Can’t wait to check them all out. Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011 at 9:56 amOkay, I swear I thought one of those pictures was a key lime pie. Darn it! Key lime pie is my true love :).
Liz @ Southern Charm
November 23, 2011 at 10:03 amI love that all of your favorites are in one place … but I have no idea how to pick which to try! I like your idea of one bite each!

November 23, 2011 at 1:12 pmFig goat cheese?! That sounds incredible! I’m only making pumpkin bread pudding which sounds dull compared to that.
Heather @ Bake, Run, Live
November 23, 2011 at 1:57 pmI have been baking pies for the last 5 days (work party!). So, I made extra for our Thanksgiving dessert: apple with a crumb topping, pecan, pumpkin, and Toll House. Then I don’t want to see another pie(for at least a few days!).
Happy Thanksgiving!

Emmy (Wine and Butter)
November 23, 2011 at 9:30 pmButtermilk pie sounds amazing – I’d love to know the recipe at ANY time of year. Or day. I thought it was a lemon curd pie when I first saw it, but buttermilk sounds waaaaaay better. Its like a Thankgiving meets Christmas pie!
All those pies look amazing… I think I’d go for the variant on pecan pie though! Im making two pecan pies and thinking maybe one of them shoudl also have chocoalte. I mean why the heck not?! 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving! xox
