Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie
Hill Country Cupboard, Johnson City
Fresh cherries pitted by hand and a dash of nutmeg are the secret weapons.

Chocolate Pie

Chocolate Pie
Barth’s Restaurant, Kenedy
The dark, supersilky filling gives it more gravitational pull than a black hole.

Love Creek Orchards Patio Cafe, Medina
Each pie contains five pounds of Pink Lady, Granny Smith, or Jonathan apples.

Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet Potato Pie
Mrs. Kathy’s Southern Comforts, Snyder
Sweet taters (baked, not boiled), butter, cream, and Mrs. Kathy’s “creative spicing”—gluttony is made of this.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Lemon Meringue Pie
City Cafe, Elgin
Total height: 6 inches, of which 4.5 inches are meringue. That’s one tall pie.

Berry Pie

Berry Pie
