1. **Pumpkin Pie  —**  The best pie. I’ve not had sweet potato pie, but that seems similar
2. **Key Lime Pie** — The world’s most under-rated pie. Many pie shops don’t even make it, but it’s pretty easy to make your own.
3. **Blueberry Pie  —**  If you disagree, you haven’t had a good one. Canned blueberry pie filling is terrible.
4. Raspberry-Chocolate Pie — This is, perhaps, not one of the standard classic pies, but I have the recipe and it’s very good.
5. Peanut Butter Pie — The recipe for this is in here; I can’t vouch for other recipes.
6. Various Fruit Tarts  —  All of these are mostly the same. I guess I prefer blackberry.
7. Cherry Pie  —  Canned filling is fine for this one. Actually, the ease with which a cherry pie can come together influences how high it ranks on the list. It’s the perfect second pie: quick to make and generally popular.
8. Derby Pie  —  A Louisville, KY thing, served during the Kentucky Derby. It’s similar to Chess Pie, but with chocolate and nuts in it.
9. Apple Pie  —  Precisely mediocre pie. Make an apple crisp instead.
10. Coconut Cream Pie — I might rank this higher one I make one at home; all the ones I’ve had thus far have been prepared and distributed frozen.
11. Strawberry Pie — Strawberries are good but work much better in a cake-based application than a piecrust-based one,
12. Chocolate Pie — This comes in various forms, some of which are better than others, but overall, I like fruit in a pie and chocolate in a cake or a cookie.
13. Pecan Pie — Sticky and sort of flat-tasting, not a good way to feature pecans
14. Lemon Meringue Pie—I don’t like meringue, and while I do like lemon, I don’t think it’s a flavor that pairs well with pie crust.
15. Peach Pie  —  much worse than it should be, for some reason.
16. Mincemeat Pie — my grandfather liked this, which is how I came to try some as a young child. Rightly has this been cast into the dustbin of history.
