It’s hard to imagine certain occasions without warm and tasty pies in classic flavors like apple and lemon meringue. This beloved dessert makes the perfect ending to any meal, especially during special celebrations. Here are some good excuses to serve pie to your friends and family.

4 Occasions That Call For Pie

1. Holidays

No Thanksgiving, Christmas, or 4th of July celebration would be complete without a spread of handcrafted, homemade pies. Pumpkin and macadamia nut cream are holiday staples in Hawaii. Brighten up your summer festivities with lilikoi or lemon cheese varieties. 

2. Birthdays

You don’t always see pies at birthdays, but they make fun alternatives to cake and ice cream. Chocolate peanut butter and peach Bavarian cream pies are sure to be a hit at kids’ parties. For easy cleanup, cut them into bite-size portions and serve them on cute napkins. 

3. Picnics

Pies and picnics go hand in hand. They are simple to transport, can withstand the summer heat, and easily feed four to six people. They provide a refreshing snack on hot days, especially in flavors like strawberry guava, blueberry cream, or pineapple cheese. 

4. Just Because

Who says you need a reason to serve pie? It’s a family favorite that rounds out breakfast, lunch, and dinner on any day of the week. As “thinking of you” gifts, luxurious chocolate or crisp fruity pies will make your loved ones smile and show them how much you appreciate them.
