15 Delicious Late Summer Pie Recipes

The beauty of eating pie is that it’s a delicious treat that you can most often enjoy hot or cold. That makes it the perfect dessert for late summer, when the days are still hot but the evenings are cooler, or even a little bit chilly. We also love pies because they let us celebrate all the different fruits and berries that make summer so great!

Check out these 15 mouthwatering pie recipes that are the perfect way to get your pre-fall fruit and berry fix but with a sweet, baked twist before things go out of season.

1. Plum and mascarpone pie

Bon Appetit shows you how to make a delicious pie with sweetly glazed plums piled high in the centre. Besides scrumptiously sweet baked flavour of the crust, you’ll go crazy for the mascarpone filling and then juicy plum flavour.

2. Blueberry slab pie

Do you adore pie but you have a big family and most rounded pie dishes don’t make enough to serve everyone dessert? Martha Stewart has the solution for you! Instead of making a classic looking circular pie, try making a massive pie slab instead. The idea of a blueberry pie this big is making our mouths water.

3. Peach raspberry gallette

If you don’t know what the difference between a pie and a gallette is, try thinking about how a deep dish pizza differs from a thin crust! Instead of sitting in the crust like a bowl, the raspberries and peaches in this gallette recipe are kinda of wrapped in a shallow layer of crust. Marta Stewart shows you how to make your own.

4. Strawberry ginger polka dot slab pie

5. Deep dish cherry pie

6. Apricot raspberry pie

When we go on the hunt for new pie flavours, we love finding slightly unconventional flavour combinations. Even if the ingredients themselves aren’t that crazy, it’s nice to merge two fruits that aren’t often featured in the same dish to make a new taste experience. That’s how we feel about this raspberry apricot pie by Design Sponge!

7. Peach slab pie

9. Cherry bourbon pie

Perhaps you’re looking for a more adult specific pie, with a flavour that’s got a little more kick?
