candy (special/celebration) pies

With fresh fruit available (though not always good tasting) throughout the year, it’s easy to forget that some pies can be made with simple ingredients that aren’t limited by season or availability. Some of these recipes, like Sugar Pie, Caramel Pie, and Shoofly Pie, are quite venerable and have numerous variations in old recipe books, yet today they are nearly forgotten. Others, like Fudge Brownie Pie and Peanut Butter Fudge Pie, are candylike pleasures for anyone with a craving for an intense chocolate dessert. Regardless of which you choose, all of these pies are sweet and satisfying, and they aren’t limited to any particular season.
