I chose “other” because I love all of them except for peach.

Shoo Fly Pie made by little old barefoot Amish ladies in bonnets that ride bicycles into the bake shop come Hell or high water.

Key Lime is my pick, closely followed by pumpkin and chocolate (cream or otherwise).

Evil.
I guess I could pick ‘other’ and then name four or five kinds of pie. :-)

No love for Lemon Meringue? But all pies are good in my book.

Peanut butter, chocolate cream, pumpkin, banana cream, blueberry, cherry, or whatever you put in front of me.

Apple is good but I do enjoy a good beef or chicken pie.

I once made a Shoo Fly Pie but the molasses was just overwhelming.

Rhubarb!
I have never tried rhubarb. I know that it is usually mixed with strawberries. Strawberries are very sweet and rhubarb is sour, so they complement each other. Maybe I will try it next summer when they are in season.

Made the wrong way it can be. Trust me. Good Amish bakers equal killer Shoo Fly. I like Pecan Pie and I’ve been places in the south were they just murdered it. Had bad BBQ in Arkansas and Georgia. Shitty cheese steak in Philly, and trust me, that is hard to do.

Rhubarb and please go light with the strawberries.

Sweet Potato pie is very good (and easy to make) if made properly, very similar to pumpkin pie but with a lighter taste.
However my real favorite is Georgia style pecan pie, still warm, and with French vanilla ice cream ala mode. Yummy, but so sweet it can make your future cavities ache…

Other…since I really do not eat pie anymore, I went with a rich one that I always loved as a kid…Coconut Cream.

“Mississippi style” sweet potato pie… (Recipe makes two pies)
6 ounces butter, softened.
3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes. (about 4 large potatoes)
1 and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
1 and 1/2 cup dark brown sugar.
3/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp. Evaporated milk.
1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla.
5 eggs, beaten.
2 tsp. cinnamon.
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (opt. for more “pumpkin pie” like taste).
1/8 tsp. ginger (opt. for more “pumpkin pie” like taste).
2 “Deep dish” pie shells, unbaked.
Once Potatoes are peeled, chopped, and boiling in preparation for mashing, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix butter, potatoes, sugars, and evaporated milk well. (To remove the majority of the “strings” from the potatoes use several very short bursts of the blenders blades to entangle the strings and then wipe off or rinse the blades each time)
Then add the vanilla, eggs, and spice(s) and mix well on lower speed. Pour into the pie shells and cook at 350 degrees approx. 1 hour or until set.

Oops I left out Pizza.
But then there would be no contest.

I’m for apple. My moms secret that I haven’ t seen anyone else do. Grate the apple so the filling is shredded not slices.
I don’t know if it’s just that we got brought up on them like that but our family loves them best that way.

If ever there was a need for the more than one answer option this is it! Voted Choc creme but tied with good apple pie.

Oops, major brain fart there, MIXER not blender, which hopefully anyone reading the original post will realize before attempting this with a blender…sigh. :(

Apple, with a slice of sharp cheddar and bambilla ice cream on top.
And a snifter of Gran Marnier.
