Aries have very fiery personalities, which they are completely confident in showing off. You have no problem taking the lead at work or hosting a gathering of different friend groups. While this can be intimidating to others at first, they usually realize quickly that you have a surprisingly warm and welcoming side.

Therefore, you need a pie with this same combination of spicy and sweet. A salted caramel pie is sugary, savory, and delightfully unexpected. This simple recipe only takes a handful of ingredients to make and can be enjoyed chilled with ice cream on the side. Delicious!

Taurus: Pecan Pie

Tauruses know how to create a comfortable environment for those around them. Down-to-earth and practical, you don't need anything too fancy to feel satisfied. And while you're not opposed to trying something new, you love the tried-and-true classics.

This year, try putting your own twist on pecan pie. Dig up an old family recipe and give it a modern upgrade with a bourbon filling and chocolate crust, or even make a pecan pie cheesecake. Not only will you get to show off your culinary skills, but you might just start a tradition of your own.

Open-minded and friendly, you like to meet new people and socialize any chance you get. Some people fear change, but you embrace it with open arms. However, as the sign of the twins, you have a dual nature, and those close to you never know which side of you they'll get.

The same can be said about sweet potato pie. While it might seem heavy, you'll be surprised at how light and airy this pie actually is once you dig in. Not to mention, the sweet potato base makes a perfect slate to add your own unique flavors like maple bourbon or toasted almond.

Cancer: French Silk Pie

Cancers are the nurturers of the zodiac, so you know how to make any event warm and inviting. Tapping into the feelings of those around you is truly your superpower. And while this is admirable, you need to learn how to treat yourself with the same care and attention you give others.

You may have been expecting a more traditional pie, but might we recommend that you take this opportunity to bake something just for yourself—like a decadent French silk pie? It'll hit all the nostalgic notes you love and be the perfect accompaniment for your next self-care night.

You'll want a pie that has as much flavor and flair as you do. So, why not go with an unexpected crowd-pleaser like lemon meringue? It might not be the most traditional of pies, but its zesty flavors are sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who tries it.
