Yummy Savoury Fall Pie Recipes

If we’re being honest, even though we’re very well rounded crafting enthusiasts, our very favourite way to get creative is with food. We’re always looking for new things to try in the kitchen and, because we’re such pie lovers, we usually end up baking. Sweet dessert pies are admittedly our very favourites, but there’s something about the fall season that actually makes us crave savoury things more often than not. That’s why we’ve been so intrigued by the idea of learning how to make more delicious kinds of savoury fall pies lately!

Are you feeling just as enthusiastic about trying your hand at a few savoury pies this fall as we were, if not more? Check out this list of 15 delicious recipes, ideas, and flavour combinations that we’ve come across so far in our search.

This recipe from Bon Appetit is particularly fast and simple to make, even for beginners!
