About pie names

A pie name usually does one of three jobs. It describes what is under the crust, as in Brown Butter Apple Crumb or Sour Cherry Lattice, which is what a menu or recipe blog needs. It tells where the pie comes from, as in Grandma's Sunday Peach or Front Porch Peach, which suits a bake sale card. Or it plays for a laugh on a chalkboard or a contest table, as in Rhu the Day and Circumference Cherry.

Descriptive names follow an order that is worth copying: a technique or standout ingredient first (brown butter, salted honey, bourbon), then the main filling, then the top or crust (crumb, lattice, streusel, slab, deep dish). Many drop the word pie altogether, because lattice, chess, chiffon, icebox and silk already say it.

The list covers fruit pies, cream, custard and nut pies, family-style names, savory pies and pot pies, hand pies and galettes, holiday pies, contest and Pi Day entries, and a small set of puns. About sixty are regional pies under their real names, such as Shaker Lemon Pie, Indiana Sugar Cream Pie and Quebec Tourtière. These are names for the pie itself; shop names are on the bakery page.

How to choose pie names

  • Lead with the ingredient that makes yours different. 'Apple Pie' is every pie on the table, while Cheddar Crust Apple or Chai Spiced Apple tells a judge or a customer why to pick this one.
  • Name the top. Lattice, crumb, streusel, meringue and double crust are things people choose by, and they make a plain name sound finished.
  • For a contest entry, keep the name short enough for a tent card and say it out loud once. Blue Ribbon Blackberry is easy to announce, and a name with six ingredients is not.
  • Use a regional name only for the real thing. A Shaker Lemon Pie uses whole sliced lemons and a Wet-Bottom Shoofly Pie has a molasses layer, and people who know them will notice.
  • One pun per table is plenty. Keep the flavor in the name, as in Key Lime to My Heart, so nobody has to ask what the pie is.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a pie?

For a menu, describe it: Brown Butter Apple Crumb, Salted Caramel Pear or Blueberry Lemon Crumb. For a family recipe, say whose it is or where it was eaten, as in Aunt Pearl's Pecan or Kitchen Table Apple. For fun, try a pun such as Apple-y Ever After.

What should I call an apple pie?

Add the detail that sets it apart: the apple (Northern Spy Apple Pie), the crust (Cheddar Crust Apple), the spice (Chai Spiced Apple) or the top (Cider-Glazed Apple Lattice). Family names work too, like Granny's Windowsill Apple. The list has about two dozen apple names across its styles.

Are there names for a pie contest or Pi Day?

Yes. One group is written for entry cards, with names like Blue Ribbon Blackberry, Dark Horse Chocolate Chess and Runner-Up Raspberry. Another plays with math for March 14: Circumference Cherry, Irrational Rhubarb and Infinite Digits Blueberry.

Does the list include savory pies?

Yes, about a hundred counting pot pies, hand pies and savory galettes. Examples are Chicken Pot Pie with Thyme Crust, Steak & Ale Pie and Wild Mushroom & Gruyère Pie. Regional savory pies such as Natchitoches Meat Pie and Quebec Tourtière appear under their real names.
