10+ Savory and Sweet Keto Pie Recipes
From savory, satiating chicken pot pie for dinner to a delightfully sweet pecan pie for dessert, pies are as versatile as they are delicious, and sometimes you might just be craving pie! Since many pies are surrounded by a crust made of grain-based flour and filled with a sugary filling, or are topped with carb-heavy mashed potatoes, you might be wondering if there are any keto-friendly pies out there.
Fortunately, just because you’re keto doesn’t mean pies are a mere memory. While finding a keto-suitable pie from a restaurant or even a grocery store may be difficult, you can make your own at home. Our talented recipe creators here at Ketogenic.com have been hard at work conjuring up a selection of sweet and savory gourmet keto pie recipes to satisfy your palate.
Keto Savory Pies for Lunch and Dinner
Pies don’t have to be sweet, and especially in the cooler months, there’s something special about a warm, filling pie for lunch or dinner. Check out these keto main dish pie recipes from Ketogenic.com:
Shepherd’s Pie
This keto shepherd’s pie is a low-carb twist on a traditional and beloved British dish. You might be surprised to learn that this recipe only takes 35 minutes to make. You’ll use many of the classic expected ingredients, such as eggs, butter, and ground lamb (or substitute ground beef).
You’ll need to use other ingredients like cauliflower to act as your keto replacements for carb-heavy mashed potatoes. This recipe also includes other ingredients for added flavor, such as almonds, smoked Gouda, and basil leaves. British banger sausages are paired with the lamb for extra meatiness!
Taco Pie
It doesn’t have to be Taco Tuesday for you to enjoy a keto taco pie! This unique low-carb pie dish is inspired by tacos, perhaps the most popular Mexican street food. To make this keto taco pie, you’ll need 10 minutes of prep time and 22 minutes of cook time for a total of just over half an hour. The dough is made of mozzarella cheese, almond flour, cream cheese, and a large egg. The filling has ground beef, taco seasoning, and other seasonings. The dough and filling are surprisingly easy to make. Top your taco pie with the usual taco classics, including sour cream, avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Chicken Pot Pie
This keto chicken pot pie recipe is the perfect low-carb replacement for a traditional carb-heavy chicken pot pie made with grain-based flour pastry. This recipe takes just over an hour to complete, including 20 minutes of prep time. Your keto crust is comprised of mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, one large egg, chopped basil, baking powder, and garlic powder. For the chickenlicious filling, you’ll need butter, chicken breast, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, heavy cream, chicken broth, green beans, and broccoli. Members of the keto community here at Ketogenic.com are raving about how this low-carb crust tastes so similar to the traditional refined flour crust used in most pot pies.

It doesn’t always have to be broccoli on the side; this keto vegetarian-friendly vegetable pie is one way to level up your veggie game and keep things interesting.
You’ll need 15 minutes of prep time and 40 minutes of cooking time, and you’ll be enjoying your veggie pie in just under an hour.

Apples aren’t really keto-friendly. Just one medium apple clocks in at around 20-25 grams of carbs, which could be enough to push you out of ketosis. [1]
Some keto dieters include a minor amount of apples in their diet here and there, while others don’t. That being said, this delicious keto apple pie recipe topped with a buttery crumble uses just two medium red apples for the entire pie. One or two slices of apple won’t be too many carbs for most keto dieters and gives you the delightful experience of eating real fresh apples. This recipe takes just over one hour to complete, and it’s best paired with keto ice cream!

The result is a sweet, rich, cinnamon-spiced dessert won’t leave you feeling deprived.
