Not familiar with buttermilk pie, what is it like?
A southern dessert, I first tried it maybe 30 years ago and when I moved to Texas, it instantly became the official pie of our household. Simply made custard pie using eggs, sugar, butter, buttermilk, etc. We have a place nearby, Buttermilk Sky Pies that makes an excellent one.

That looks similar to what I know as egg custard pie. My grandparents would eat it so it caught on with me. I love it and haven't had it for awhile. Occasionally Publix will have one or two available in the bakery cold display.

Appliance BradCrumb top apple. Super sharp cheddar on the side. Pumpkin made with Libby's filling and home made whipped cream.
Yes, I'll have seconds.

sigarms229Pumpkin Apple
Looks like an apple pie but has layers of apples and pumpkin.
My wife gets many requests for this pie starting in November and finally ending in January.

soomaYup, either Flathead county cherry or blueberry pie, a la mode of course. And if we're going fancy, some homemade bourbon caramel.

raggedholeGoode Co. BBQ here in Houston makes and sells a very good Pecan Pie that I usually get this time of year.
I consider it a Texas tradition in our family.
HEB makes and sells a special Walnut Apple Pie that I also try to have available this time of year as well.
Our family also makes a Classic Buttermilk Pie that will show up and vanish.

SigFanPecan, pumpkin, apple, and chocolate French Silk (Marie Callender’s). My wife also makes a dessert called “Cherry Goop” — it’s sore of like a very sweet cherry cobbler. It’s always a big hit at office parties.
Glad to see others mention cheddar cheese on apple pie — my family have all thought for years I’m nuts for suggesting that.

Never heard of this pie. Sounds intriguing.
My favorite would have to be my deceased mother-in-law's Apple Pie. She wasn't the best cook, but she had a decent apple pie. Only details I recall are two or three kinds of apples used, lots of butter, (brown sugar?), & cinnamon. She would roll out a thicker than normal crust, which made the center hard to cook, but was so hearty & satisfying to eat.
I'm fond of a good fruit pie if apple isn't available.

reluctantpaladinThe highly decadent Jack Daniels chocolate pecan pie gets first place around here with a good sweet potato pie coming in a distant second.

DetonicsMk6Home made Pecan pie or Apple pie made with Johnathan apples.

TRIOThis discussion has prompted me to ask my siter-in-law about her mother's pie recipe. It is no longer known. However, she gave me her version of it which is very similar.
I just remembered the other fruit pie name this morning...
Triple Berry Pie (blackberry, raspberry, & blueberry)

bobandmikakoMy wife makes pecan pie with cane syrup and molasses and an all butter crust. It's definitely my favorite.

irreverentApple at every occasion. Definitely pumpkin for turkey day! Strawberry rhubarb for spring, key lime at Christmas (location, location, location)..I’ve had pecan pie a few times.. super decadent.
Never heard of buttermilk pie, but it sounds rich..French silk, hmm. That’s an any occasion pie, too!

hudrButtermilk or sweet potato
My grandma Allen used to make what she called Butter Roll. Not really a pie, more like a cobbler w/o fruit. We never could get her to write down a recipe for it. But all of us grandkids would make ourselves sick eating it.

Is this what you're describing?
https://www.food.com/recipe/ol...-roll-dessert-280153I think I'd use butter instead of margarine.

chbibcSome great pies referenced in this thread! Honestly, I've seldom if ever had a pie I didn't enjoy.
I do enjoy sweet potato pie and pecan pie at Thanksgiving. Nothing better than either of those with a cup of coffee!

Mr.BrooksBlueberry. Everything else is a distant but wonderful second.

SigJacketButtermilk, chess and egg custard are all close kin with each other, and are supreme.
But for turkey days, I go with
Bourbon Pecan.
