1. Traditional British Mince Pie
Get The Full Recipe On The Spruce Eats
It’s impossible to imagine Christmas without mince pies. Why? Since the 16th century, mince pies have been a staple of a traditional British Christmas.
Originally made of a spiced, sweet meat mixture, they are now frequently prepared with sweet mincemeat, which is a concoction of dried fruits, sugar, spices, and brandy (and no meat).
They play a significant role in the history of British Christmas.
You’ll understand why they are so popular when you try the recipe for the pastry-wrapped, rich, sticky, and sweet filling.
2. The Best Pecan Pie (Christmas pie recipes)
Get The Full Recipe On Simply Recipes
This is the pecan pie for your Christmas table, featuring a homemade crust and a sweet pecan filling. Prepare it in advance by a day or two, or freeze it for even longer.
At 350°F, this pie bakes for a little over an hour. The crust ought to be golden brown when finished. The pie should have been set around the edges but still, be a little wobbly (like Jell-O) in the center. As it cools down, it will continue to solidify.
Pecan pie should be completely cooled to room temperature after baking to prevent the filling from becoming runny. If you want the pie warm, heat it in a 275°F oven for 10 minutes after it has reached room temperature and the filling is set. Pecan pie is typically served at room temperature.
3. Dulce de Leche Cream Pie with Pecan-Graham Crumble
Get The Full Recipe On The Food Charlatan
A truly impressive Christmas (or any time) dessert that you can make with little effort is this Dulce de Leche Cream Pie!
It is very simple and a big hit with the public. Who could refuse mountains of whipped cream and a sweet, caramel-like filling? Not to mention the crisp Pecan-Graham Crumble on top!
This dish is so easy to make that it hardly qualifies as a recipe. You should eat the four components—a pecan-graham-crumb topping, salted dulce de leche filling, whipped cream, and thick graham cracker crust—in a bowl as you would cereal.
4. Cranberry Orange Custard Pie (Christmas pie recipes)
Get The Full Recipe On The Creative Bite
My favorite Rhubarb Custard Pie inspired the creation of this Cranberry Pie recipe. It is one of the simplest pies to make, and it’s delectable to boot.
Pies are typically a simple dessert to prepare, except for the pie crust. If you dislike rolling out dough, you could skip that step and use a frozen or chilled crust.
A homemade flaky pie crust is a lovely thing, so I do advise making the effort.
5. Fresh Plum Pie
Get The Full Recipe On The Spruce Eats
During the holidays, one of the best things to come out of your oven may be the mouthwatering aroma of sweet fruit and warm spices filling your kitchen.
Our plum pie is filled with sweet fruit, cinnamon, and butter and baked to soft perfection between two layers of pie crust.
The best part is that the mixture only requires a quick mixing and can be placed directly into the pie dish without needing to be cooked first.
This pie requires about an hour to prepare from start to finish. When you serve this pie to your guests at your next event, you’ll pleasantly surprise them with a new flavor.
6. Fudge Brownie Pie (Christmas pie recipes)
Get The Full Recipe On Sally’s Baking Addiction
Rich chocolate brownie filling and a homemade buttery flaky pie crust are combined in this fudge brownie pie.
Before adding the simple from-scratch brownie filling, blind-bake the crust to prevent it from being raw and doughy.
Don’t forget to wash it down with a glass of cold milk or some vanilla ice cream! A small slice is delightfully decadent.
It takes more time in the oven to bake the crust than the filling does. The bottom of the crust will be doughy or raw if you skip the blind baking step.
The flavor and texture of your finished brownie pie will benefit greatly from blind baking, also referred to as par-baking.
7. Rocky Road Pie
Get The Full Recipe On Delish
You’ll adore this pie if rocky road ice cream is your favorite flavor.
A remarkably smooth, decadent, and rich filling is created by combining cream cheese, melted chocolate, and cocoa powder.
The graham cracker crust gives the decadent chocolate a crisp and buttery contrast.
This rocky road, liberally sprinkled with mini marshmallows and almonds, will lead you to eternal bliss.
8. Turtle Pie (Christmas pie recipes)

This decadent turtle pie combines caramel, pecans, and chocolate. It has a delicious Oreo cookie crust and a smooth caramel filling and is baked-free.
Everything you love about the traditional candy, including chocolate, caramel, and pecans, is in this simple turtle pie, which is delicious served cold and creamy.
A crisp Oreo cookie crust forms the base, and the filling is a no-bake caramel cheesecake that resembles a caramel mousse. More caramel sauce, chocolate, whipped cream, and pecans are added to the top.
9. Cranberry Pear Crumble Pie
Get The Full Recipe On Brown Eyed Baker
This irresistible cranberry pear crumble pie combines juicy pears, tart ruby red cranberries, and a buttery brown sugar topping. This pear pie filling is so delicious that you won’t be able to stop sneaking bites of it.

10. Lemon Meringue Pie (Christmas pie recipes)
Get The Full Recipe On Dinner Then Dessert
This is the BEST lemon meringue pie ever! A mile-high, swooping layer of meringue is placed on top of the tangy, creamy lemon custard filling. When you need a stunning dessert, make this.
The base of a lemon meringue pie is a lemon pie filling. Egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest are used to prepare the filling, and cornstarch is added to strengthen it and ensure that it keeps its shape when the pie is cut.
11. Easy Eggnog Pie

This no-bake eggnog pie is a dream come true for eggnog fans!
With its creamy texture and rich eggnog flavor, my family can’t get enough.
For a quick and easy dessert this holiday season, whether for Thanksgiving or a Christmas party, I highly recommend it.
Adding eggnog to recipes has become one of my favorite holiday traditions. Just last weekend, while making a chocolate pie, I realized you can create an effortless eggnog pie by simply swapping eggnog for milk in a vanilla pie recipe.
12. Salted Caramel Pie (Christmas pie recipes)

This pie is delicious and incredibly simple to prepare. Only seven ingredients are available.
People gush over it every time I bring it to a potluck or other event. It is so simple to make that I feel embarrassed.
I usually carry extra copies of the recipe because people ask for it.
Even with the addition of whipped cream, the pie is still sweet, so I typically cut smaller pieces than I would for fruit pies.
