When most people think of pie, they immediately think of Apple Pie. I like Apple Pie, because it is so versatile. Besides eating it for dessert, I think it's great when served for breakfast or lunch. Just add a slice of cheddar, pop it into the microwave for 30 seconds and you've got a meal.

My next door neighbor just adores Blackberry Pie, so naturally I had to make her one. Even though I was actually making a Blackberry Pie, I couldn't get the Blackbird nursery rhyme song out of my head.

  • "Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
  • Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
  • When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
  • Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?"

To make this recipe, you need three pints of the plumpest blueberries you can find. It's even better if you've picked them yourself. To make this Blueberry Pie taste even better top your piece off with homemade vanilla ice cream.

4. Cherry Pie

Now my favorite fruit pie is a Cherry Pie. The pie pictured is a Rustic Cherry Pie a.k.a. Cherry Galette. Instead of the normal two crust pasty, only one is used. It used without a pie plate. The bottom crust is rolled as usual. I like to paint the pastry with beaten egg. This seals the pastry keeping the filling from seeping through. Place the cherry filling in the middle and then fold-up the edges.

Speaking of favorite pies, Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie is my father-in-law's all-time favorite pie. The tart rhubarb balances out the natural sweetness of the strawberries.

I'll be the first to admit, I'm a huge peach fan, but not of the normal peach pie. My favorite peach pie is called Peach Pie Surprise. It gets a zing from a little red candy. You have to look in the recipe for the ingredient.

Despite the recipe name, this Fresh Strawberry Pie does have cooked, as well as, fresh strawberries in it. Basically, the name has more due to the fact that the pie is not baked. Make sure your strawberries are hulled before you make this recipe.
