Any lime that's not a candy lime, likely.

My key lime recipe is Largo Milk

2 % (TPA) Bavarian Cream

1 % (FA) Cookie

1 % (CAP) Graham Cracker

3 % (TPA) Key Lime

0.5 % (FA) Lime Tahity Cold Pressed

2.5 % (TPA) Marshmallow

4 % (CAP) New York Cheesecake

1 % (TPA) Sweet Cream

1 % (TPA) Sweetener

2 % (CAP) Vanilla Custard

TPA Key Lime needs two things: a sweeter lime flavor and Sweetener. I'm currently reworking this recipe to use FA Florida Key Lime and INW Yes We Cheesecake, as those are superior flavors.

For your tweaks, I'd add FA Forest Fruit at 3 %, and INW Shisha Strawberry at 1%

This is still the best Key Lime recipe I’ve ever had. And I’ve tried a lot of them. Can’t recommend it enough.

I never tried any of the recipes, but a pretty spot on Key Lime Pie recipe is available on ELR: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/102658/. I believe that throwing in FA Forest Fruits @ 2.5% might be a good idea to give it a hint of berries.

Another option is to adopt CAP Harvest Berry @ 2.0% from Lenola Cream Remix from ATF: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/47426. This recipe is already a 'pie' in a way and CAP Harvest Berry certainly tastes good there.

Or you can combine the two and see how it tastes.
Good luck with this!

This is the gold standard for key lime pie. I’ve never added anything to it, and subbing any VC for FAs will work, it’ll just be a tad milder.

I would definitely start with Capellas lemon meringue pie v2

Just pulling a recipe out of thin air, I'd maybe go

CAP lemon meringue pie v2: 4% FA Florida key lime: 1.5% CAP Vanilla bean ice cream: 1% CAP super sweet: 0.5%

Consider Graham cracker clear and possibly tiny tiny amounts of Acetyl Pyrazine. AP would bring lime down and bring out bakery notes if lime is dominating your recipe too much. Meringue is probably necessary.

Someone suggested cream cheese and God I'm in love with lorann again but I'm unsure about that one here, but maybe make a few 10ml test batches and let us know how she go.

Edit: maybe loose the apple, substitute apple pie if you really want apple so it brings an authentic pie to the table as well.

In my experience Graham cracker clear contributed a better bakery note than " _____ pie” flavors.

If you like pie, there's some jam fruit recipes that could easily be lightly paired on a Graham cracker base.
