When it comes to dessert, pie is king (and I will fight anyone who says otherwise), but, unfortunately, it can be tedious and time-consuming for those of us who have neither patience nor baking talent. Never fear, though, for you can still have your cake- err, pie and eat it, too, thanks to the one-of-a-kind Purple Pie Place in South Dakota:
Located in Custer, the aptly-named Purple Pie Place is just that, an eye-catching, purple building that specializes in all things pie.

Open in the summer and fall, the Purple Pie Place is known near and far for having the best pies in the Black Hills, thanks to their made-from-scratch selection that includes such favorites as strawberry rhubarb, cherry, and apple.

In addition to these more traditional pies, the Purple Pie Place also offers a few more unique flavors like strawberry rhubarb jalapeno, bumbleberry, and peanut butter.
