2026 Taste of Home - ‘Pie-Palooza’ Recipe Contest

General Information

It might be steamy outside, but here at Taste of Home, we’re already thinking ahead to one of our favorite meals of the year: Thanksgiving dinner. Specifically dessert.

We’ve partnered with Plugrà butter to find this year’s top pie recipes, and we think one may just be in your recipe box. We’re hungry for apple-quince with a lattice top, spiced Mexican chocolate silk, your grandma’s brown butter chess pie, or something we can’t even imagine—yet. If your signature pie is creative, buttery and an absolute showstopper, count us in.

Looking For
 – A pie recipe that’s patently yours—original filling, unexpected twist or a family classic with your personal touch
– Any size, from mini to sheet-pan
– A buttery crust made to show off

Prizes / Awards / Medals / Ribbons

Three talented home bakers will have the chance to win:
1st prize – $800.00
2nd prize – $500.00
3rd prize – $200.00
