Peanut Butter Pie XV
Credit: Allrecipes

Pie is universal. A crust, a filling, and a crispy topping. Rinse and repeat with all types of fruits, cream fillings, even meat. There are few who will reject pie in whatever form it comes, savory or sweet. Pie is so popular, in fact, that Google knows which type of pie is most searched in every state (and Washington, D.C.). Here, we look at what ranks at the top, and we offer our best recipes for those favored flavors.

Alabama: Buttermilk Pie

The Yellowhammer State adores this pie, and it's easy to see why. The texture is somewhere between custard pie and chess pie, rich and creamy with a sweetness that balances out buttermilk's natural tang. "My 83 year old uncle said it was the best buttermilk he ever tasted and buttermilk pie is his favorite pie.," writes home cook and reviewer Sherry.

Alaska: Apple Pie

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Apple pie is one of our most popular recipes, so it makes sense a few states prefer it over all others, including the 49th state. "Absolutely delicious. I was a little skeptical at first because The recipe didn't call for the typical sugar and cinnamon to be added to the apples but it worked out perfectly," writes reviewer JoAnne Gambrazzio. Other reviewers noted you can add a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg if that's your pie style.

Arizona: Lemon Pie

Bright, comforting, and fresh — three words to describe both this lemon pie and the state that loves it so. The consistency is similar to key lime pie, but uses bottled lemon juice instead. You can use fresh lemon juice, but you may want to balance it with a bit less sugar. "If you like lemon curd- you will LOVE this pie! This is an incredible tasting & easy to make pie!" writes reviewer Donna LeMaster.

California: Boysenberry Pie

Boysenberries, like blackberries and raspberries, are bramble fruits. Their flavor is close to a cross between those two common berries and two other lesser-known berries, dewberries and loganberries. If you find boysenberries, you can use them in place of blackberries in a blackberry pie with fantastic results.

Colorado's laid-back approach to life is reflected beautifully in this minty, black bottomed pie. With only five ingredients, you won't need to devote a lot of time or effort to make this. It's even stashed in the freezer until you're ready to eat it. How much you have at one sitting may depend on how much of another type of Colorado green you enjoy.

Delaware: Tomato Pie

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

You don't need summer-fresh tomatoes to enjoy this pie (though this dish is absolutely delicious with a garden's fresh bounty) because the fruits gently cook to turn delicately sweet amid a filling of cheese, mayo, and plenty of fresh herbs. And for loads of contrasting flavor, there's half a pound of bacon, too. A few reviewers suggest baking the pie crust a bit before adding the filling so it has a chance to crisp up and won't turn soggy in the oven.

Leave it to the nation's capital to love a truly unique pie. This one combines strawberry-flavored gelatin with frozen whipped topping to create a cloud-like filling that's studded with lots of fresh fruit. "Made exactly as the recipe stated. It was very good. I've put this recipe in the family cookbook. I'll be making it again," writes reviewer Jeanne Mae, who adds they'll mix cream cheese into the pie filling next time.

Key limes are associated with the Sunshine State, but few are actually grown there. Despite that, it remains the most popular pie, from the panhandle to the Keys. This key lime pie recipe makes the process even easier, so you'll be quicker to a sunshine-filled escape at first bite soon enough.

If you're surprised the Peach State's favorite pie isn't, well, peach pie, you're not alone. (Also surprising? That it wasn't pecan pie.) The state famous for its stone fruit and its pecans prefers this root vegetable turned dessert.

Simple, old-fashioned, and classic. Idaho says, "No frills, please" when it comes to their pies.  To get the filling syrupy, a few reviewers suggest putting a pie shield over the pie and letting it sit in the oven while the appliance cools. "I let it sit in the oven for about an hour with the oven off, and it was perfect!" writes reviewer amysuespears.

We suspect everyone in Iowa has generations' old peach pie recipes they call their own, but if you're trying to fit in with the folks at Hawkeye State picnics and potlucks, use this recipe from Chef John. It consistently earns five-star ratings for good reasons: "Chef John does it again! This is by far the best peach pie I have ever made. I made no substitutions as this recipe needed none," writes reviewer Sarah Hilen.

Kentucky, we were counting on you for a bourbon pecan pie, but we also applaud the second appearance of peanut butter pie on this list. Perhaps with such a big border with Indiana, it shouldn't be surprising the Bluegrass State likes this decadent dessert, too.

Maine's plentiful countryside is absolutely flush with apple orchards and fantastic home bakers who know how to turn those fruits into unforgettable desserts.

Minnesota: French Silk Pie

<p>We hear banana cream pie is the Minnesota state pie, but that doesn't stop residents of the Gopher State from searching out this over-the-top chocolate pie option. The beauty of this recipe from creator Smart Cookie is that it's no-bake. (But it does require a six-hour wait in the fridge.) "This recipe is just like the original 1951 recipe. (Well, except for the coffee) I make this pie at least once a year. I have never used the cookie crust but will certainly give it a try," writes reviewer Janet Greenwell.</p>

Mississippi: Sweet Potato Pie

<p>Just like it's Southern cousin Georgia, Mississippi prefers the sweet potato pie over all others, even the iconic Mississippi mud pie. It's likely due to the state's deep farming roots, as sweet potatoes are plentiful in the Magnolia State's farms. (Pumpkin is grown further north in Illinois.)</p>

Huckleberries are the state fruit of Montana, so it's no wonder the folks in Big Sky Country are a fan of their state's first fruit in pie form. If you've never had a huckleberry, the flavor is sweet with a hint of sour, much like a blueberry, but they're not quite the same.

Nebraska: Sour Cream Raisin Pie

<p>Perhaps the most surprising pie on this list of the country's most-searched pies is Nebraska's entry: sour cream raisin pie. But if the reviewers words are any indication, the folks in the Cornhusker State might have the right idea with this dessert. "This is very good and easy. I have made it a few times. You can use either white or dark raisins just soak them for an hr. then drain them before you add them to the pie," writes reviewer Ristie Chuhaloff.</p>

We'll let recipe contributor Imam Qadriyyah S. Mabel-Doroth explain Nevada's favorite pie, if you're unfamiliar: "This is a traditional Muslim bean pie that most people have never had and even more have never made.

New York: Coconut Custard Pie I

<p>To be honest, we expected an apple pie for the state that's home to the Big Apple, but we're thankful to present a totally different pie from any other state: coconut custard. The rich custard base is decadent and luxurious, but the coconut adds a hint of brightness and chew that the standard custard just won't have. "Easy to make with ingredients you usually have on hand," writes reviewer Janet Friedman.</p>

There's something about those Great Plains states and the sour cream raisin pie, because here it is again as the most popular pie for the state that's home to Mount Rushmore. The Nordic roots of this recipe highlights why it would be so popular in these states, where many Scandinavians settled after coming to America.

If you've never experienced a buttermilk pie, let Chef John tell you why it's time to make one: "Not only is this buttermilk pie easy to make and beautiful to look at, it's also bursting with the kind of bright, tangy flavor that no other custard-style pie can touch. This is sort of like a vanilla custard, meets lemon meringue pie, meets very light cheesecake. Except better."

Instead of another buttermilk pie, let's instead look to Texas's official state pie: the pecan pie. The pecan tree has been the Lonestar State's official tree for more than a decade, so even though Google tells us more people search for buttermilk pie, we suspect no Texas potluck is complete without this nut-topped pie.
