In the South, you spell love p-i-e. At least that's thebrsentiment of Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop. “When you sharebrpie, you share love,” according to founders Scott andbrMeredith Layton. The nostalgic Southern dessert shopbrthat has become a mainstay in Knoxville, Tennessee, hasbrbrought its handmade, award-winning pies to Colleyville,brand we couldn't be more excited to taste every last one.brAll the recipes were handed down from the grandmothersbrof the founders, so you know these pies are the realbrdeal—from the buttery crust to the perfectly sweet filling.br
The confections at Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop are almostbrtoo pretty to eat. Six classic pies such as Coconut Creambrand Granny's Apple Pie are handmade daily in two sizes:brfour-inch mini pies and nine-inch pies to share. There arebralso seasonal pies such as the Summer Peach Pie andbrEdisto Key Lime Pie, which is named after the founders'brfavorite beach in South Carolina.br
And of course, there's a Buttermilk Pie at ButtermilkbrSky Pie Shop. The signature dessert is smooth andbrsweet—a hybrid of a classic Southern chess pie andbra custard. “This flavor is great for people who preferbrsomething without chocolate,” according to the shop.brBut if you happen to love chocolate, the ChocolatebrMeringue Pie won't disappoint. The filling is slow-cookedbron the stovetop and stirred until it reaches the perfectbrconsistency. The result is a velvety pie bursting with richbrchocolate flavor. Lightly toasted Italian meringue is thebrfinishing touch.br
While every pie is magnificent, Nanny's Pecan Piebrrose to the top as one of the South's Best Pecan Pies, asbrdeclared by Taste of the South magazine. The famed piebrstarts with a buttery shortbread crust, which is then filledbrwith crunchy pecans and topped with a decadent pecanbrfilling. Then in the oven it goes until it's firm but still moistbrand chewy. We can only imagine the aromas that mustbrconstantly waft out of the bakery.br
The shop also whips up something called a Cloud 9,brwhich is just what it sounds like: bliss in a cup. A minibrpie is delicately mixed with a giant scoop of ice cream,brresulting in a swirl of crust, sweet fillings and ice creambrin each bite. It's like à la mode, only better. ThumbprintbrCookies are yet another sweet indulgence at ButtermilkbrSky. These cheerful confections have different icingbrcolors and flavors to coincide with the season.br
However you like your pie, one thing is for sure: You'llbrwant to get a slice at Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop. If pie isbrlove, we're downright smitten.
