LOST PIES OF THE SOUTH • This fall, we’re inviting you on a little road trip, an imaginary excursion through nine Southern states, each one with a particular pie worthy of your own holiday table. You won’t need a map, a seat belt, or car keys for this journey—just an appetite to try something different. These pies, each with a distinct provenance, are full of stories and flavors that are unique to the states from which they came. Feeling adventurous? Bake a streusel-topped persimmon pie inspired by the tangy fruit that grows wild throughout North Carolina. Then try a transparent pie, which is as beloved in some corners of the Bluegrass State as a glass of well-aged bourbon. Or treat yourself to a smooth pumpkin pie made with cushaw squash, an old-time favorite of Cajun and Creole cooks in Louisiana. Wherever you call home, these delicious desserts will give you even more reasons to love the South.

Sliced Sweet Potato Pie • As an accomplished researcher and educator at Alabama’s Tuskegee Institute in the early 1900s, George Washington Carver featured a recipe for Sliced Potato Pie in an agricultural bulletin about sweet potatoes, which encouraged African-American farmers to cultivate the root vegetable as a cash crop and nutritional powerhouse. This old-fashioned, double-crust pie may look ordinary on the outside, but when it’s sliced, the inside reveals vibrant orange layers of sweet potatoes flecked with spices and sweetened with sugar and sorghum syrup. We love the simplicity of the classic custard-style sweet potato pie, but on a special occasion, this handsome antique version is well worth the extra time. We suggest topping each slice with a dollop of whipped cream flavored with molasses and vanilla.

Black Apple Pie • First cultivated in Benton County, Arkansas, in 1870, the Arkansas Black apple is a distinctive heirloom that ripens to a deep red on the tree but transforms to a nearly black hue after a few weeks in storage. Fragrant, tart, and tasty out of hand as well as in baked goods, it also thrives in parts of Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia, and beyond the South in Pennsylvania and California. The Arkansas Black keeps for months and ripens after it’s picked, improving in flavor and texture over time. Be on the lookout for this member of the Winesap apple...
