Desserts are an integral part of meals. Sure, you don't need a dessert when you're making everyday meals for your family. But entertaining and the holiday season demand desserts. Pies are wonderful desserts because they're easy to make (especially if you use a prepared pie crust) and are loved by all. These ten pie recipes are some of my favorites. You'll love them too!

    I love cherry pie. It's quite an American dessert, and it's an old-fashioned recipe too because it's simple and classic. You can make this pie with sweet cherries, but sour cherries really add complexity of flavor. Yum.

    Classic pumpkin pie is very simple. All you need is a pie crust, some canned pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and spices. This recipe is easy and has the best velvety texture.

    If you aren't a pie baker but you want to serve pie to company, this is the recipe for you. It uses just three ingredients but the pie is fabulous. The lemon curd turns the frozen yogurt into something that is just out of this world.
