Whether it's Pi Day, Thanksgiving, or just a Monday, I love finding any excuse to enjoy a big slice of pie. There's just something about digging into that buttery, flaky piecrust with a warm (or chilled) filling. I have yet to meet a pie flavor I don't like, but if given the option, I'll likely go with whatever fruit pie is available. It's even more enjoyable to me if it's some sort of berry pie—especially now that spring is here! Gurney's Seed & Nursery Co. recently revealed the most popular fruit pies by state, and I had to see where my state landed. Spoiler alert: My current state (Iowa) and home state (Missouri) both went to strawberry pie, which I believe is an excellent choice. While there aren't many major head-turners (Thanksgiving cranberry pie sparked confusion last year), the results might surprise you. See which fruit pie your state landed on and whether you agree.

Seriously folks WTF is a Grape pie?
Bring me a foot tall Coconut Cream.. and a cop of coffee..
“Grape pie”? The favorite in California? That’s nuts. It’s either Avocado pie or Artichoke pie or Pistachio pie or Orange pie! Maybe Calimari pie (an empanada).
Idaho favorite is Pear pie? That’s nuts, too. No doubt it’s Huckleberry pie (at least in the Panhandle). Yum!
We used to pick all these elderberry’s and demand Mom make a pie out of them, we didn’t even like elderberry’s but hey, its PIE!
I’ve never seen a grape pie in mylife LOL
My mother’s wild blackberry pie with homemade ice cream......
Maryland chose grape and cranberry? And Oregon gets pear pie? Gotta call BS on the whole thing.
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
Wild blackberry, not himalayas .
Swiss Pastry Shop in Fort Worth Texas if you’re ever in the area is worth the visit.
i had olallieberry a few times, it is amazing
Grape pie? Who put this list together...the CDC?
*nose wrinkle*
I’m calling bogus.
Texas and pineapple pie (I might buy pecan)? No mention of lemon meringue? Grape pie?!
C’mon man!
We’d bring home buckets of blackberrys and demand Mom make a pie, she’d say why cant you just put them in a bowl, sprinkle sugar on them an pour milk over it?
She would eventually capitulate with the caveat “you little bastards are going to clean them” :)
Illinois is apple pie? I don’t think so. Apple pie has to do with America and freedom and happiness. Illinois is not as American as apple pie.
I would have chose pizza pie, though.
Them old Tx ladies know how to make Coconut Cream Pie.
This list wasn’t put together to chronicle favored pies by state. It was put together to start arguments about pies.
Who picked these as favorite pies?
I lived in Maryland for 12 years and California for 15 years, and never once saw or even heard of grape or cranberry pie.
I am a native Oregonian, and I have never in my life seen or heard of pear pie.
The closest I’ve come to even hearing about grape pie would be raisin pie.
