Every year my family always makes an over abundance of pies for our Thanksgiving! And of course, I love making an allergy-friendly pie to add to the Thanksgiving dessert table. Diet restrictions can make it tricky and sometimes limit the types of pies you can have during the holidays. Thankfully, I have been able to find and create many different allergy-friendly pies. Including dairy-free pies, grain-free pies, nut free pies, and gluten-free pies. As a modern pioneer, making allergy-friendly pies from-scratch is an essential life skill! You should be able to find a pie you will enjoy in this Thanksgiving Pie Recipes Roundup!
Thanksgiving Pie Recipes Roundup List
A couple years ago I started working on a personal goal of mine: make every kind of pie out there. However, the pies had to be gluten-free, nut free, corn free, low in sugar, and/or grain-free. I have been having a blast trying new pie recipes and taste testing the results. Some of the new pies I have made are on the ‘make again list’. Other recipes didn’t quite make the list. So far I have made over 50 different pies and still have more on my ‘to try’ list!
Having made that many pies I figured it was about time I put together a list of the different recipes I have used. While trying all the different kinds of pies I have definitely had to make some adaptations to the recipes to fit my dietary needs. It has been fun turning different pie recipes into something that I can eat.
And a pie is more than just the filling… you also need a good pie crust! I have two grain-free pie crust recipes that I use for nearly all my pies. Unless of course I am making a graham cracker or cookie pie crust. Check out my grain-free pie crust recipes here! Another grain-free pie crust that I make frequently is this cassava flour pie crust.
Vegetable Pies
Grain-free Pumpkin Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, corn free, & dairy-free)- This classic pie is one that I make every fall!
Grain-free Sweet Potato Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, corn free, & nut free)- Trust me, sweet potato pie will rival pumpkin pie any day! It has the creamy texture of pumpkin pie with a sweet, bold flavor!
Gluten-free Zucchini Pie (made gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, nut free, & corn free)- I adapted this zucchini pie recipe to make it grain-free and dairy free. Just substitute tapioca flour for the all-purpose flour and coconut milk for the milk. I also baked my zucchini in the oven instead of boiling it over the stove top. This pie was surprisingly delicious and I encourage you to give it a try!
Grain-free Impossible Pumpkin Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, & corn free)- Skip the crust and still make a delicious pumpkin pie using this impossible pie recipe!
Baking Tip: I like to use 9″ glass pie plates for baking my pies in!
Fruit Pies
Grain-free Peach Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, & corn free)- When I first had peach pie, I knew I was hooked, definitely a must-make fruit pie! Plus, this recipe is made using a grain-free crumble topping!
Grain-free Apple Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, & corn free)- A traditional American pie, this healthy apple pie is definitely a staple at the Thanksgiving dessert table. You also don’t have to do a lattice crust for this pie. The grain-free crumble topping in my peach pie recipe works great for apple pie too!
Paleo Strawberry Pie (grain-free, gluten-free, nut free, corn free, & dairy free)- Not super fall-ish, but this no-bake strawberry pie could certainly add some variety to your Thanksgiving desserts!
Gluten-free Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (gluten-free, nut free, & corn free)- This recipe is super easy to make using frozen strawberries and rhubarbs. So, even though those fruits aren’t in season, this pie could be a pleasant surprise at your Thanksgiving!
Grain-free Blueberry Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, & corn free)- I don’t make blueberry pie very often, but when I do make it, it reminds me how much I enjoy eating it!
Grain-free Raspberry Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, corn free, nut free, & dairy free)- I just used the raspberry filling from this recipe and put it in my own homemade pie crust.
Gluten-free Pear Pie (gluten-free, grain free, nut free, & corn free)- Pear pie surprised me, and now my family is hooked on it!
Gluten-free Cherry Pie (gluten-free, nut free, dairy-free, & corn free)- Cherry pie is a fun fruit pie to make that is bursting with sweetness. I love having a slice with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream!
Baking Tip– Bob’s Red Mill tapioca flour is my go-to grain-free flour for thickening fruit pies!
Pudding Pies
Dairy-free Chocolate Pudding Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, nut free, & corn free)- This pudding pie is a staple in my house. It is a super easy pudding recipe to make that sets up perfectly every time.
Grain-free Butterscotch Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, corn free, & tree nut free)- This is my dad’s favorite pie, and one of my favorite pies too!
Grain-free Lemon Meringue Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, & corn free)- I love making this lemon meringue pie since the recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious!
Baking Tip– I always use full-fat canned coconut milk when making dairy-free pudding pies.
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pies
Grain-free Fudge Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, nut free, & corn free)- This pie is like eating brownies in a pie crust and is one of my favorite pies to bring to family gatherings!
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, corn free, & tree nut free)- You can make this cheesecake pie dairy-free by using Daiya cream cheese spread, which is dairy-free and nut free!
No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie (grain-free, gluten-free, dairy free, corn free, & tree nut free)- This peanut butter pie is a traditional holiday pie in my family, it’s one that the whole family loves.
Dairy-free Grasshopper Pie (gluten-free, dairy-free, nut free, & corn free)- Don’t worry, no grasshoppers are harmed in the making of this pie. Instead, it is bursting with a sweet, minty flavor!
Gluten-free Mississippi Mud Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, corn free, & nut free)- I enjoy making this layered pie and all the different layers blend together perfectly into a delicious pie filling!
Dairy-free Ice Cream Brownie Pie (dairy-free, gluten-free, tree nut free, corn free, & grain-free)- This pie is my go-to dairy-free pie for when I need to bring a dairy-free dessert to a family gathering.
Baking Tip– Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips are my go-to allergy-friendly chocolate chip for baking.
Decadent Pies
Grain-free Maple Pecan Pie (grain-free, gluten-free, & corn free)- Bursting with the sweet, nutty flavor of pecans and complimented by pure maple syrup, this pie is always a hit at Thanksgiving!
Paleo Key Lime Pie (grain-free, dairy free, corn free, & gluten free)- Again, I just used the key lime filling from this recipe and put it in my own crust that I made with shredded coconut.
Dairy-free Butterfinger Pie (gluten-free, dairy-free, nut free, & corn free)- Make your very own butterfingers from scratch for this pie, and enjoy snacking on the leftovers!
Grain-free Coconut Cream Pie (grain-free, dairy-free, corn free, & gluten-free)- I used just the pie filling from this recipe, but the crust recipe looks good too and it is also grain-free!
Dairy-free Coconut Cranberry Pie (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, tree nut free, & corn free)- Bursting with fall flavors like tart cranberries, orange, and coconut… this sweet pie is like eating a coconut cranberry macaroon in a pie slice!
Gluten-free S’more Pie (gluten-free, dairy free, nut free, & corn free)- S’more pie is a super fun pie to make from scratch and it tastes delicious! Plus the leftover marshmallow filling is delicious in hot cocoa!
