Pi Day isn’t just for math lovers—it’s the perfect excuse to bake (and enjoy) a delicious homemade pie! We’ve rounded up our seven most popular pie recipes to help you celebrate in the best way. No matter which one you choose, these pies prove that baking is as much a science as it is an art.

Our towering and elegant Mile-High Lemon Meringue Pie takes the classic pie to new heights—literally. Packed with lively lemon flavor, our silky lemon curd filling sits atop a flaky, buttery piecrust sturdy enough to contain it all. A light browning of the meringue with a kitchen torch is the golden finishing touch to this silky favorite.

If you like a pie with some crunch, this is the recipe for you. Our remix on the classic pecan pie abounds with texture. Smooth orange blossom honey and a tender Pâte Brisée crust soften the unique blend of pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts. 

Tender pockets of rich, flaky pastry are filled with curried potatoes, peas, carrots, and onion to create these savory Potato Curry Hand Pies. A combination of fresh ginger, garlic, curry powder and paste, cumin, allspice, bay leaf, black pepper, and fresh cilantro give each hand pie a nuanced depth of flavor, and fork-tender vegetables add just the right amount of textured bite. Plus, they’re perfectly portioned to serve at your next get-together.

My Mimi’s Black Bottom Pie is a legendary recipe, as full of sweet memories as it is flavor. Creamy, with just the right amount of bittersweet chocolate nestled at the bottom, this pie will inspire a whole new generation of devoted bakers. —Brian Hart Hoffman

Fragrant Meyer lemons are the heart and soul of our tart lemon curd, brightening the natural sweetness of ripe blueberries.

We turned to Pennsylvania-based food blogger Brett Braley for his updated take on this Shoofly Pie classic. With a punch of orange to accent the underlying molasses, this reprisal of the wet bottom pie is full of decadent flavor.

For these decadent hand pies, we encase a creamy coconut filling with flaky pastry dough and finish it off with a drizzle of melted chocolate.
