Though really, who needs an excuse to eat pie?

While pie isn’t technically a seasonal dessert, it really feels most at home in the fall. That transitional time between light summer pavlovas and heavy winter puddings belongs to a classic piece of pie, and we’ve gathered five of our personal favourites from the WL Recipe Finder. Because the weather isn’t looking great this weekend—so shouldn’t your joy come from a little music, a little baking and a big reward (in the form of a slice of sweetness) at the end of it all?(Photo by Janis Nicolay)
