1. Real American Apple Pie by Nechama Norman
My sister-in-law’s mother, Mrs. Y. Liss, gave me this recipe at her granddaughter’s bas mitzvah party. It may require extra work, but the results are worth it!
She sent me the recipe with the following blurb attached: My home-economics teacher, Mrs. Ruth Levi from Detroit, gave me this recipe. It was published in the local Detroit Women’s Orthodox League cookbook called From a Kosher Pantry With Our Love in 1976.
2. Apple Cherry Crumble by Bruchy Duschinsky
This apple cherry crumble came in first place in my informal poll. It seems like this is one side dish that’s here to stay. Well, who could resist? It’s the perfect marriage of sweetness with an undertone of tartness. Simply delicious.
3. Chocolate Custard-Cream Pie by Shaindy Siff
This heavenly pie will make a delicious finale to a beautiful Yom Tov meal. The light, creamy topping is the perfect contrast to the deep, rich chocolate filling. A true chocolate-lover’s delight!
4. Tahini Pumpkin Pie by Chanie Apfelbaum
Pumpkin pie has been a staple on my Yom Tov menu for years. I often make a double batch, which I bake in mini pie shells and freeze. With the freezer stocked, I always have a festive side dish at the ready.
5. Caramel Chip Pie by Gitty Friedman
I served this at a Friday-night meal and kept it in the oven until dessert time. It was warm and gooey, and no one guessed it was made with a cake mix!
6. Oats and Honey Granola Pie by Rachel Kor
This Oats and Honey Granola Pie is simple to make, can be made gluten and nut free, and has no corn syrup. It is sweet from the honey, nutty from the granola, and will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. It is a true competitor to the classic pecan pie-and in my opinion, tastes WAY better!
7. Rebbetzin Belsky’s Lemon Meringue Pie by Family Table
8. Paleo-Crust Chocolate Pecan Pie by Brynie Greisman
This pie is really easy to put together. Tastes like the real thing, only it’s much healthier.
9. Chocolate Fudge Pie with Pretzel Streusel Topping by Miriam (Pascal) Cohen
This sweet and salty masterpiece is the perfect way to end a Shabbos or Yom Tov meal. It also happens to be ridiculously easy to make. Shhhh! Our secret!
10. Maple Pecan Tartlets by Tamar Teitelbaum
A caramelly, nutty tart with almost no effort? Yes, please. These rich and simple Maple Pecan Tartlets take only 30 minutes, start to finish – though no one would ever guess it looking at them!
11. S’more Pie by Cheryl and Griff Day
Juliette Fordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, and every year thousands of green-sashed girls make their way to our city to see where it all began. I loved everything about being a Girl Scout, from roasting marshmallows to telling ghost stories and, of course, “making new friends and keeping the old.” This pie pays homage to the Girls Scouts. I love camping, but these days it requires an Airstream trailer in tow.
12. Bourbon Pecan Pie by Esty Wolbe
A touch of smoky bourbon will spice up your classic pecan pie. We love this delicious way to celebrate autumn! Watch Easy Does It with Esty for more easy family cooking.
13. Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart (Vegan, Gluten Free) by Ruth Fox and Vicky Cohen
This chocolate peanut butter tart is vegan, gluten-free and the best part is that is super easy to make and it only requires 6 ingredients. The hardest part is to wait for it to set!
14. Chocolate Pudding Pie from the Dining In Cookbook
Sometimes called a Boston Cream Pie, this dessert is a sure hit with chocolate lovers.
15. Caramel Chocolate Pie with Fried Chestnut Topping by Chaia Frishman
Full disclosure: I’m not a huge fan of caramel. It’s just one of those flavors I never got into. But caramel chips mixed with chocolate liqueur make for a wonderful marriage of yumminess. I fried these chestnuts for the topping, and the results speak for themselves.
16. Cookie Dough Fudge Pie by Miriam (Pascal) Cohen
This delicious pie, and its enormous popularity with thousands and thousands of readers, is the ultimate proof that there’s a little kid inside us all, a kid who appreciates the simple pleasures of our childhood. Things like a rich, fudgy pie. Things like chocolate chip cookie dough and fudgy chocolate, straight from the mixer. This might not be the most sophisticated dessert, but it’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
17. The Best Pumpkin Pie by Alison Gutwaks
I think we all can agree that Thanksgiving is not complete until you have had a bite of pumpkin pie. As much as I tried though, I was never satisfied with the parve pumpkin pies! That’s when I took matters into my own hands. I looked and tried tons of different recipes until I came across this gem! This recipe for pumpkin pie is adapted from a dairy version in Good Housekeeping. I used my usual crust recipe, which also happens to be the easiest, quickest and flakiest crust I have ever made! This pie remains a favorite in my family and is requested every year. I am sure it will become a staple in your home!
Thank you!
