Mini Blueberry Pies are as sweet as they come, and the individual servings mean that there are no battles over the biggest slice.

Apple, Rhubarb, and Raspberry Pie with Almond Star Crust

Bring oohs and aahs to the potluck table with this blue ribbon-worthy apple-berry pie. Made with cinnamon and three times the garden-fresh goodness, what's not to love? Use a star-shape cookie cutter to make the eye-catching topper.

Cherry-Berry Pie

For the juiciest berry pie filling, use frozen cherries and blackberries instead of fresh. Frozen berries keep their sweet-tart flavors packed inside until they warm, bubble, and burst in the oven. After plenty of difficult topping "testing," we have determined that a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the best match for this berry pie.

Black Raspberry Cream Pie

Black raspberries are sweeter than blackberries but tarter than red raspberries. Blend the cool hybrid fruit into an icy mixture of jam and whipped cream for a gorgeous, orchid-hue pie filling. A purchased graham cracker crust makes this frozen berry pie recipe a snap to prepare.
