Martha Stewart’s Crisp Coconut and Chocolate Pie
Via Style at Home
This recipe, which trades a doughy crust for buttery coconut flakes, is decadent, to say the least. But with only four ingredients, how could you possibly resist making it?

Vegan Pie Recipes
Vegan Sweet Potato Pie
Via The Witchy Kitchen
In my family, there are two schools of Thanksgiving pie-eaters: pumpkin pie lovers and die-hard sweet potato devotees. While I’ve always been a pumpkin pie fanatic, this sweet potato pie, served in a pecan and oat crust, could be a gamechanger.
Vegan Lemon Pie With Oatmeal Cookie Crust

I hate apple pie. And so did the woman who made this apple pie. But then she tasted this apple pie, and now she LOVES apple pie! That’s how good this recipe is. We’re nearing the end of apple season, so go grab some Galas (or go pick your own) and get to cooking!

Pecan Pie Bars
Via POPSUGAR Fitness
These deliciously nutty and chewy bars are sure to satisfy your nagging pie-prone sweet tooth without breaking your diet.
Paleo Sweet Potato Pie

This recipe uses almond milk instead of heavy cream and raw honey instead of sugar, making it a (somewhat) healthy holiday treat. So go ahead—cut yourself a giant slice.
Paleo “Peanut Butter” Pie
Via Meatified
If you are a Paleo-diet devotee, you’ve probably been dreaming about peanut butter for a while now. This pie doesn’t actually contain any peanut butter (because, duh, that’s against the rules), but the combo of tahini, coconut oil and raw honey produces a flavor that’s preeeeetty close to the real deal.
Paleo Apple Tart

This raw pumpkin pie, made with a mixed-nut crust, is basically a traditional pumpkin pie served frozen rather than baked. Interesting, huh?
Raw Strawberry Pie
