Up first: Salted Caramel Pie
Editor’s note: This article was originally published several years ago and updated most recently in March 2025 by ParentMap’s editorial team with new recipes, photography and light copyediting.
Salted Caramel Pie
This decadent salted caramel pie from Food & Wine will satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth. The gram cracker crust is lined with a caramel filling made from condensed milk and salt, baked in the oven to a perfect golden brown. The caramel needs to chill in the fridge for several hours before serving, so make this ahead of time. Add a generous amount of homemade whip cream and you’ll wish every day was Pi Day.

Blogger Jenni Field teaches people to be fearless in the kitchen at Pastry Chef Online, and there’s no exception with her rich-in-history-and-flavor recipe for Indiana sugar cream pie as part of her “heritage pie” series.
