Summer Pie Recipe Ideas
Step aside, pumpkin pie. It’s blueberry pie‘s time to shine!
And fresh peach pie, creamy lemon pie, and decadent s’mores brownie pie, too. While we often associate pies with our annual menu of Thanksgiving pies, summer is also prime pie season. If you’ve been following my website for awhile, it’s no secret that pies are hands-down my favorite dessert to bake. So, I’m delighted to share today’s post with 20 of my favorite summer pies recipes in one place.
If there’s one pie to make this summer, it’s my creamy key lime pie with its easy 3-ingredient filling and macadamia nut graham cracker crust. Or if you want to take a step away from traditional pie, I also have recipes for key lime pie bars, mini key lime pies, and even upside down key lime pies. A key lime pie for every summer occasion. 🙂
The summer is also a perfect opportunity to bake with beautiful berries and fresh fruits. Cherry pie and peach pie are two popular favorites this time of year, both paired with my homemade buttery flaky pie crust. Homemade fruit pies can certainly be a labor of love, but it’s absolutely worth it once you take that first bite.
And if you want a pie in a fraction of the time, try fruit pizza, peach cobbler, or blueberry galette. Everything we all love about summer pies… but easier AND quicker.

Success Tip: Transporting Summer Pies
Traveling with your pie creations this summer? I use this cupcake carrier when transporting pies to parties and get togethers. It fits my favorite 9-inch pie dish with a little extra room on the sides to spare. (Throw in some napkins and/or serving utensils!) This 10-inch round pie carrier is also an option.
