Apple Huckleberry ‘Three Generations’ Pie
The humble huckleberry pie is an American staple. Combining tasty apples and huckleberries (or blackberries, if you’d prefer), this dessert is a real showstopper.
Nadiya Hussain’s Apple Custard Pie
This unique twist on the classic apple pie marries crumbling pastry with creamy custard and soft apples.
Warm Cherry Crumble Pie
This dessert dish hits the sweet spot between a crumble and a pie. The sweet cherries add a burst of flavour to this gorgeous, warm bake.
Passion Fruit and Lime Meringue Pie
This exotic twist on the classic lemon meringue pie pairs sour lime and tangy passion fruit with fluffy meringue. The result is a light, fruity dish.
Pecan Pie
This light, moreish pie packs a punch: its buttery crust pairs perfectly with the sweet flavours of maple syrup, pecan halves and vanilla. We recommend serving with a hearty dollop of ice cream.
Nadiya Hussain’s Apple Palm Pies
These miniature pies are the perfect dessert for any picnic. Mixing apple sauce, spices and dried fruit and nuts, they’re like summer’s version of a mince pie. They’re quick and easy to make, too.
Mary Berry’s Windfall Pie
There’s more to this crisp pastry than meets the eye. The crunch of the apples pairs deliciously with the sweet roasted rhubarb, making this fruit pie the ultimate comfort food.
American Lime Pie
This ginger-infused, biscuit-like pastry has a creamy, zesty lime filling and is topped with fluffy meringue. Plus, it looks gorgeous.
