No meal from a quality homestyle restaurant is complete without dessert, and pie is a dish almost everyone in the family will love. From fruits to pudding to nuts, there are a variety of toppings and fillings that make each pie unique. Below is a guide to several types of pie that you should try the next time you have a sweet tooth.

Different Types of Pies

1. Cherry Pie

Cherry pie is a classic dessert dish. The tanginess of the cherries is offset by a sweet cherry syrup, creating a fruity, gooey filling with chopped or whole cherries in each bite. Surrounded by a flaky crust, it’s light, filling, and refreshing, ideal for picnics or an afternoon treat.

2. Sour Cream Apple Pie

Sour cream apple pie makes standard apple pie more savory and filling, with a smoother texture. Traditional apple cinnamon pie filling is mixed with sour cream, eggs, and sugar to create a creamy texture. It’s sweeter and less tart than standard apple filling, and it’s topped with a crunchy brown sugar and butter streusel. Because of the cream and eggs, it’s a heartier dessert that goes perfectly with a fried chicken meal from a high-quality homestyle restaurant.

3. Pecan Pie

As the name suggests, pecan pie consists of chopped pecans mixed with syrup, eggs, brown sugar, molasses, and butter. Additional pecans are layered on top to create a crisp topping, while the filling stays moist and soft.

It’s a sweet pie, but it’s not overwhelming thanks to the nuttiness of the pecans. A southern staple, it’s offered by old-fashioned, high-quality homestyle restaurants, usually crafted from their own family’s recipe.

4. Oatmeal Pie

A traditional Amish dessert, oatmeal pie is the ultimate comfort food. It’s made with a lightly spiced, decadent oatmeal filling that’s sweetened with brown sugar and syrup, offset with spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. It’s a thick, warm, and delightfully chewy dessert, topped with crunchy oatmeal, and it goes well with a light dinner or when you need sweet comfort food.
