Summer is all about bright, juicy fruits at their peak, and what better way to enjoy them than in a homemade pie? As the season winds down, take advantage of the last of summer’s sweetest offerings by baking up these ten irresistible fruit pies. Whether you love classic flavors or want to try something new, these recipes will help you savor summer just a little longer.
1. Classic Peach Pie
Nothing says summer quite like a fresh peach pie. Juicy, sun-ripened peaches tucked into a flaky, buttery crust make for the ultimate warm-weather dessert. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
2. Blueberry Crumble Pie
Sweet and tart blueberries shine in this pie, topped with a golden, buttery crumble instead of a traditional top crust. It’s the perfect combination of crisp, juicy, and crumbly textures.
3. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
The sweet-tart pairing of strawberries and rhubarb is a seasonal favorite. The tangy rhubarb balances out the sweetness of the strawberries, creating a pie with bright, refreshing flavors.
4. Cherry Lattice Pie
Fresh cherries, a hint of almond extract, and a beautifully woven lattice crust make this pie both delicious and stunning. Whether you use sweet or sour cherries, this pie is a must-bake before summer’s end.
5. Blackberry Pie
Plump, juicy blackberries make for a pie that’s bursting with bold flavor. A little lemon juice and zest help brighten the filling, making each bite a taste of summer.
6. Plum and Raspberry Pie
This unique combination blends the rich, jammy sweetness of plums with the tart pop of raspberries. It’s an underrated but truly spectacular pie that deserves a spot on your summer baking list.
7. Mango Coconut Pie
For a tropical twist, try this mango and coconut pie. The smooth, naturally sweet mango filling pairs beautifully with toasted coconut in a flaky crust. It’s like a vacation in dessert form!
8. Mixed Berry Pie
Can’t choose just one berry? Use them all! This pie brings together strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a medley of summer flavors wrapped in a buttery crust.
9. Nectarine and Honey Pie
Nectarines are often overshadowed by peaches, but they make for an equally delicious pie filling. A touch of honey enhances their natural sweetness, giving this pie a delicate, floral depth.
10. Pineapple and Passionfruit Pie
For something totally unexpected, try a pineapple and passionfruit pie. The tangy, tropical fruits create a bright and refreshing filling, perfect for those who love a little zing in their desserts.

While summer won’t last forever, these pies can! Most fruit pies freeze beautifully—just bake one (or a few), let them cool completely, and store them in the freezer for a taste of summer long after the season ends.
