In honor of Pi Day on 3.14.14, I am joining the Foodie by Glam network and showcasing my favorite kind of pies. By using the Foodie bookmarklet I collected 14 lip-smackin’ southern pie recipes. I chose southern pies because I’m a country girl, with a love for twangy music, boots, four wheel drive, and homemade pie.
Use the slideshow at the top of this post to browse the pies I found! Of course they include one recipe from the Pioneer Woman. Because what kind of southern pie round up would be complete without Ree? None.
I also included an amazing Sweet Potato Pie recipe (when I read that name, I hear a sweet ‘lil accent, so it sounds like “sweet pot-tay-tuh pie.”). And a chocolate bourbon pecan pie. There is actually a big difference between northern pecan pie and southern. Southern pecan pies typically include bourbon.
And I was going to include Whoopie Pies just for fun. I found them in a Nashville Bakery as one of their pride and joys. But more research showed Whoopie Pies were made famous in Maine. Which is not the south. Sorry. Also, they aren’t pies…..they are cakes.
I also included local favorites like Strawberry Rhubarb (my mom used to make this from the rhubarb that grew in our back yard), Peach Pie (use sweet Georgia Peaches for the best flavor) and Key Lime Pie (authentic to Florida’s Keys!).
What is your favorite Southern Pie recipe?
I have never had strawberry rhubarb pie, ever. I have no idea why because it sounds delicious! Sweet potato pie is my fave!!
I’ve never had a Strawberry Rhubarb pie before, but it sounds yummy!!
Mmm…these look so good, and let me tell you, them southerners sure know how to make pies!
oooh! Love to see a version of chocolate bourbon pecan pie! We call this Kentucky bourbon pie in our house (but we skip the bourbon and we add extra vanilla)
These pies all look so delicious! I’ve been using Foodie for a long time as a virtual recipe box
Ooooh that one with the bourbon in it is my favorite. Who cares what else is in it LOL!
To be honest I’ve never tried sweet potato pie. Now that we’ve been using them in more recipes, I think it’s time to try it in pie!
I’m a southern gal, but I’ve never eaten rhubarb pie. I guess I should give it a try!
So many good choices here but my all time favorite is the sweet potato pie!
I know nothing about Southern food, but I know pecan pie is delicious! Yum!
You know calling them “lip-smackin'” makes me want them all the more.
Bourbon Pies are among my favorite – best part of Thanksgiving. Great roundup!
yummmmmmy!!!
Definitely pecan pie, It’s a staple in the south!
I definitely need to make the family a pie for pi day! Thanks for the inspiration!
