As fall officially begins, the nation partakes in a collective culinary shift. Coffee orders transition from cold brew to espresso; comforting casseroles and slow-cooked stews replace light salads and chilled soups come dinnertime. Most significantly of all, the market produce selections switch from tart summer berries to apples, sweet potatoes and other hearty fall crops that pair so nicely with rich fall spices. There’s no better way to usher in the fall harvest than with a celebration of seasonal pies.

It goes without saying that traditional autumn activities are something special. Hopefully, trying out fall pie recipes is at the top of your list of things to do this year. This is a classic way to enjoy the season’s best flavors while pleasing your sweet tooth. Not much can beat the tastiness of a homemade pie, after all.
