I've got a soft spot for Amish baking that runs so deep, and these 11 pie recipes are my love letter to that cozy, farmhouse magic. Simple ingredients, time honored traditions, and the kind of flavors that wrap around you like a quilt. If you’re new to Amish pies, oh my goodness, you are about to fall hard.
1. Impossible Pie
I was so confused by the name the first time I made this pie. It’s certainly not impossible to throw together.
Quite the opposite, actually. Is it impossibly good?
Impossibly easy? Both are absolutely true, but that’s not the real reason. Chefs dubbed it the “impossible pie” because it magically creates its very own crust while it bakes.
2. Amish Coconut Cream Pie
Homemade coconut cream pie is one of my all time favorite desserts. Sure, you can grab a store bought version, but nothing comes close to the real deal from your own kitchen.
This recipe is simple, with fewer than 10 ingredients, yet it delivers a sweetly tropical, silky smooth, lusciously creamy dream. That flaky crust is the perfect dance partner for the soft, fluffy filling.
3. Amish Chocolate Pie
Calling all chocolate lovers! This silky smooth chocolate pie has a decadent filling that practically melts on your tongue.
You’ll fall for the deep chocolate flavor, the buttery crust, and that indulgent whipped cream on top. Everything about this slice screams over the top in the most amazing way, and sometimes a little pure bliss is exactly what I need.
4. Amish Apple Pie
Here’s another amazing Amish apple pie that deserves a spot in your recipe box. This one is a proper double crusted affair, packed with that winning trio of apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar. But let’s be real: the buttery, flaky crust is the true star of the show here.
5. Amish Whoopie Pies
Whoopie pies are famous in certain pockets of the world, yet so many people have never tasted one. If you haven’t, picture an oversized Oreo that’s soft and chewy instead of crisp.
You get two big, fluffy, cakey chocolate cookies hugging a cloud of vanilla frosting in the center. Some folks compare them to Moon Pies, but they’re much lighter and cakier, even though that chocolate and vanilla combo feels familiar and oh so yummy.
6. Amish Peanut Butter Pie
Amish peanut butter pie is rich, creamy, and all about that nutty goodness. Every single bite hits like a straight shot of peanut butter joy. If you're a PB fan, you'll absolutely adore this one.
7. Amish Pecan Pie
This pecan pie is ooey gooey and absolutely irresistible. I can’t get over the salty, nutty crunch on top giving way to that soft, melt in your mouth center.
The buttery crust is ridiculously good all on its own. It’s a classic for a reason, and honestly, this version is one of the easiest you’ll ever make. Just a handful of common ingredients and you’ve got a warm, comforting slice of heaven waiting on the counter.
8. 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 touch of lemon extract.
Chances are you've already got everything you need right this moment. It all comes together in 10 minutes, then bakes for an hour, making it the ideal sweet finish to a hearty, wholesome dinner.
9. Amish Brown Sugar Pie
Brown sugar pie is exactly what the name promises: a pie flavored with brown sugar and not much else. The filling is a simple stir together of brown sugar, flour, evaporated milk, butter, and cinnamon.
Finish it with a cloud of heavy cream and powdered sugar, and you’re all set. It’s almost unbelievable how a pie this straightforward can taste so phenomenal.
10. Amish Oatmeal Pie
Forget those packaged oatmeal pies from the snack aisle. This oatmeal pie is 100% homemade and 1,000% fantastic.
It calls for just eight ingredients and about 5 minutes of actual hands on prep before the oven takes over. The result is sweet, rich, and will remind you of pecan pie but without a single nut in sight.
11. Apple Schnitz Pie
For a truly authentic Amish pie, you need this apple schnitz beauty in your life. It’s a staple at after church dinners and graces the table almost every week in many communities. “Schnitz” simply means slices, so you’re baking with thinly sliced apples instead of chunky filling.
That thin slice makes them tender with a whisper of crunch on the first bite. With its sweetly tart apple cinnamon flavor, it’s ideal for both fall leaf piles and sunny summer picnics.
