March 14 is Pi Day! And it's the perfect excuse to indulge in one of the most delicious dessert offerings on the planet: pie. For those of you that are a bit rusty on your math, Pi Day pays homage to the constant that measures the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which is the number 3.14 in its shortened form. (3.14 for March 14, get it?)

We'd love to dive deeper into the history of Pi for the mathematic holiday, but not on an empty stomach. We at Yahoo Makers are all guilty of being a hopeless sweet tooth, and any excuse to bake up a pie storm is just fine with us. The wonder that is pie is such a widely beloved dessert because of its versatility. Depending on your specific gastronomic inclinations, you can find just the pie to match your taste buds' desire.

Baking is a bit more of an exact science than cooking, so be sure to follow instructions for the perfect pie. When baking a pie, it's crucial to have a good crust. It's the foundation for the entire dessert! You may already have a family recipe for your pie dough, but in case you're dipping your toes into baking for the first time, here is a recipe for you.

Once you have the crust, it's time for the fun part: picking what kind of pie to bake! Here are 10 of our favorites for you to choose from.
