In the celebration of all things pie, the first thing we think about is a candle or two. Well…maybe it’s not the first thing…but it’s sure darn close. Here are some of the best pie scented candles we’ve found, from rich pumpkin pie and buttery crust notes to warm apple pie fillings and gooey pecan goodness.

1803 Candle Co.’s Apple Pie immediately impressed us on cold throw with its warm baked apple notes, buttery crust, and cozy cinnamon spice blend. It smells rich, comforting, and incredibly true to a fresh apple pie straight from the oven. Based on our early impressions alone, this one easily deserves a place among the best pie scented candles we’ve encountered.

Apple Pumpkin Pie from Kringle Candle combines two classic fall desserts into one rich bakery fragrance. Sweet apples, warm spices, buttery crust, and creamy pumpkin notes come together to create a scent that feels like a bakery on a crisp autumn afternoon.

If you love the warm, nutty scent of pecan pie but prefer something a little less maple-heavy, Penn & Beech’s Pecan Pie candle is an excellent choice. Rich pecans, creamy vanilla, buttery pastry notes, and brown sugar come together to create a warm bakery scent that feels cozy, comforting, and deliciously realistic.
