Our best fall pie recipes

Autumn Harvest Berry and Nut Pie
In this wonderful pie, tart cranberries and a little apple balance the sweetness of the walnut filling. If you wish, you could substitute pecans for the walnuts.

Pear and Fig Pie
Pears do not have as much pectin as apples and other fruits, so you must make sure the juices are really bubbling throughout the pie, including the centre, to make sure the filling won't be too wet.

Butternut Squash and Molasses Pie
Richer and more flavourful than regular pumpkin pie, this pie serves up a real taste of autumn. You can also use ambercup, hubbard or turban squash.

Apple Pie with Currants and Almonds
This is my favourite version of apple pie, perfect after an apple-picking excursion. If you like sweet pie, add up to 1/4 cup/60 mL more granulated sugar to the filling.

Apple Pie with Chocolate Hazelnut Crisp
With its unusual crisp topping of hazelnuts and chocolate, no one will call this "plain apple pie."

Rustic Apple, Pear and Cranberry Pie
Using puff pastry saves you steps, just remember to transfer puff pastry from freezer to fridge the day before. If you prefer, you can also use regular pastry with the same method.

Apple Rum Raisin Pie in Phyllo
Use packaged frozen phyllo to form the light, flaky crust.

Sweet Potato Maple Pie

Squash Custard with Ginger Caramel
A cross between pumpkin/squash pie and crème caramel, this dessert showcases the deep colours of the season with a rich harvest taste.

Sweet Potato Pecan Pie
This type of double-decker pie is a southern baking tradition, and a delicious one too.
