I’ve been on a serious Amish pie kick and I can’t wait for you to taste what I’m talking about. These 11 recipes are simple, old fashioned, and absolutely packed with homemade charm. Gooey pecan, silky chocolate, each one feels like a warm hug from a farmhouse kitchen.
1. Amish Coconut Cream Pie
Homemade coconut cream pie sits way up high on my all time favorites list. Sure, you can grab one from the store, but nothing, absolutely nothing, beats making it from scratch.
This recipe is simple, fewer than 10 ingredients, yet it brings huge tropical flavor. The filling is silky smooth and lusciously creamy, and that flaky crust is just the right partner for the soft, fluffy inside.
2. Apple Schnitz Pie
For a truly authentic Amish experience, you’ve got to make this apple schnitz pie. It’s a regular at after church gatherings and shows up on tables almost every week in some communities.
Schnitz just means slices, so think of it as an apple pie made with thin slices of apple instead of chunks or canned filling. Those delicate slices turn tender with just a whisper of crunch at first bite, and the sweetly tart apple cinnamon taste makes it a dream for both fall and summer.
3. Amish Peanut Butter Pie
This Amish peanut butter pie is rich, creamy, and nutty in the best way. Every single bite hits you with that intense, pure peanut butter flavor, almost like a peanut butter injection. PB lovers, you’re going to be over the moon for this one.
4. Impossible Pie
I was totally puzzled by the name the first time I whipped up this pie. It’s anything but impossible to make, honestly, it’s the complete opposite.
Does it taste impossibly good? Is it impossibly easy?
Yes and yes. But the real secret behind the name is even cooler: chefs dubbed it the ‘impossible pie’ because, like magic, it creates its own crust as it bakes.
5. Amish Brown Sugar Pie
Brown sugar pie is exactly what it sounds like, a pie that lets brown sugar shine with barely anything else in the way. The filling comes together with just brown sugar, flour, evaporated milk, butter, and cinnamon.
Top it with a cloud of heavy cream and powdered sugar. It’s almost impossible to believe such a simple pie can taste this phenomenal.
6. Amish Oatmeal Pie
This is definitely not the oatmeal pie from the snack aisle. This version is 100% homemade and, I’ll say it, 1,000% fantastic.
You only need eight ingredients and about five minutes of hands on prep before the oven takes over. It comes out sweet and rich, and reminds me of pecan pie, minus the nuts. Honestly, that’s kind of magical.
7. Amish Apple Pie
This Amish apple pie is another one you absolutely need in your life. It rocks a double crust and that timeless trio of apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar. But let’s be real: the buttery, flaky crust steals the spotlight and I am not mad about it.
8. Amish Pecan Pie
This pecan pie is ooey, gooey, and completely irresistible. I’m all about that salty, nutty crunch on top giving way to a soft, silky center that just melts.
The buttery crust? Ridiculously good.
It’s a classic for a reason, and this version comes together crazy fast with just a few pantry staples. Craving something warm and cozy? This one’s for you.
9. Amish Chocolate Pie
Calling all chocolate lovers! This silky smooth chocolate pie has a decadent filling that simply melts in your mouth.
Layers of rich chocolate and a buttery crust get topped with an indulgent whipped cream. Everything about this yummy pie is gloriously over the top, and I am here for it. If you can’t treat yourself to a slice of pure bliss now and then, what’s even the point?
10. Amish Buttermilk Pie
Amish buttermilk pie is quick, easy, and has been loved for decades. The ingredient list is beautifully simple: pie crust, sugar, flour, eggs, butter, buttermilk, and a little lemon extract.
I’d bet you have everything on hand right now. It mixes up in just 10 minutes, then pops in the oven for an hour. I love it as the sweet finish to a hearty, homestyle dinner.
11. Amish Whoopie Pies
Whoopie pies might be a regional celebrity, but if you’ve never had one, picture a giant, soft, chewy Oreo. Two big, fluffy, cake like chocolate cookies hug a dreamy vanilla frosting center.
People compare them to Moon Pies, but that’s not quite right. These are way lighter with a tender, cakey crumb, though the chocolate and vanilla combo does give a similar vibe.
