No one will deny that Easter is one of the sweetest holidays of the year. Between the chocolate bunnies, the baskets brimming with Easter candy, and all those Easter desserts to serve for brunch, you might be wondering if there's such a thing as too many sweets. We say no bunny will ever turn down another Easter treat! There's always room for more, especially when it's one of these Easter pies.
If you think about it, Easter is the perfect time for the best pie recipes. It's right at the beginning of spring, so citrus is still in season and you can enjoy all those lemon desserts at their peak. If you're lucky and the weather is warming up, you can make spring desserts like fruit pies and rhubarb recipes. Or if it's still chilly, there's all those coconut desserts and chocolate desserts that are right for any time of year and yet perfectly timely for the holiday. (And has anyone ever turned down a slice of Oreo pie ever? We don't think so.)
If you're hosting a crowd, pull out a giant slab pie. No room in the oven? Try a no-bake recipe. And if you're unsure who likes what, make a classic chess or buttermilk pie that will please every palate. These Easter pie recipes are sure to be a hit and then you'll wonder why you ever questioned yourself in the first place. Of course you should have a pie (or two or three!) for a sweet end to Easter dinner. So hop to it!
Classic Key Lime Pie
Key lime is one of Ree Drummond's favorite flavors and can you blame her? It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, especially with that tasty graham cracker crust.
