Everyone Will Ask for a Slice of These Christmas Pies

The holiday season is always full of Christmas desserts—whether it's a plate of decorated cookies or an over-the-top yule log cake. But if you're in search of a more rustic treat (and one that doesn't require a piping bag), look no further than a homemade holiday pie. These Christmas pies are just as festive as your favorite Christmas cookies and they even come in all your favorite holiday flavors—gingerbread, chocolate, peppermint, and more. Here, you'll find all the classics you know and love, plus fun twists like a pecan pie made with dark chocolate chips and a spiced apple pie that has a hint of chili powder.

Any pie lover will tell you that a good pie recipe always starts with a really good crust. You can choose from an all-butter pie crust or opt for one that uses shortening, like Ree Drummond's perfect pie crust. Or, if you really want an easy dessert, go for a press-in crust like the graham cracker crust used in her husband Ladd's favorite chocolate pie.

And, if you thought there were a lot of options for pie crusts, just wait until you see all the varieties that can be used for the fillings. There are tons of fruit pies, pumpkin pies, and chocolate pies ahead. But you'll also find pie fillings with peanut butter, caramel, and even a pie that has a cinnamon roll topping. No matter which recipe you choose, be sure to save a slice of Christmas pie for Santa to try, too.
