The thin, crisp crust makes the indulgent toppings shine in the spotlight.

8. Lightened-Up Grasshopper Pie

9. Carob and Fig Pie

This Carob and Fig Pie is elegant, decadent, and surprisingly easy to make.

Not only is this cake perfectly balanced (both in the flavor department and the nutrition department), all you have to do is throw all the ingredients in a blender and the place it in the refrigerator to set.

10. Seafood Pot Pie 

Why have “chicken” pot pie when there are so many other proteins out there? Flaky pie crust, sweet potatoes, leeks, and peas paired with fishless fillets, Old Bay Seasoning, and kelp powder. Serve with a great big salad or whatever sides you like. This savory Seafood Pot Pie is so warming and unique!

11. Mashed Potatoes and Vegetable Pie
