Mine has to be Peanut Butter! Here is the recipe (with GF and DF options):
For the crust:
25 Whole Chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos–I use GF ones)
4 T. butter (I use plant based)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush the cookies until they’re fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the top and stir with a fork to combine. Press into a pie pan and bake until set, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
For the filling:
1 c. peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese (I use DF cream cheese alternative)
1 1/4 c. powdered sugar
8 oz. tub of Cool whip (thawed) I use coconut based–it is super yummy!
Beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
Pour the filling into the crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

I love coconut based whipped cream, @karenMV. Yummmm! There is a pie shop down the street from my house and they make the BEST pies. I especially love the peanut butter chocolate pie from there.

@KarenMV That PB Pie sounds delish! Are you vegan by any chance? This year my honey and I made our first pecan pie & it was easier than I thought and so yummy. I think this is the same recipe I made…. I know it was one without corn syrup! https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/22544/pecan-pie-v/

My grandmother grew a rebar plant in her back yard and I remember watching it grow and asking her if it was time. She would say not quite yet but getting close. When it was time we would cut it and then she would take me through the steps of making her famous Rebar Pie. Soooooo yummy!
