Holiday feasts are best when they end on a sweet note, but for Easter, you should skip the heavy desserts and opt for bright, sunny pies from your local bakery. After all, spring is the season when fruit trees start blooming and nature comes alive, so you should capture that in your meal. Here are three springtime pies that are perfect for your Easter celebration from Emerson’s Bakery in Northern Kentucky.

Springtime Pies Perfect for Easter

1. Key Lime Pie

Key lime pie is delicious any time of year, but the pastel yellow-green color is perfect for Easter. The pie gets its name from the petite limes used to make it. They are a smaller, more floral version of the Persian limes you’ll find at the grocery store. And it’s these that give key lime pie the bright, tart flavor that finishes off a traditional Easter dinner so nicely.

2. Lemon Pie

bakeryIf you like the idea of a citrus pie but can’t quite handle the tartness of key lime, opt for a lemon pie. Lemon pie filling is typically made with Meyer lemons, which are more sweet than sour. This means it is fruity and creamy without being overly tart, making it the ideal light dessert to finish off a heavy meal. 

3. Cherry Pie

When you’re craving a traditional fruit pie, turn to cherry pie for sweet-tart perfection cradled within a flaky crust. Cherry season begins in April, so Easter offers great timing for a fresh pie filled with delicious cherry nectar. And if you’ve never had a homemade cherry pie, you’ll be blown away by the difference that fresh-made filling makes.
