Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to think about pies!
Apple, pumpkin, pecan, and all the other pies we love to make for the holiday. Because we all know that Thanksgiving is All About The Pie. Right? So I have put together a list of some of the best ones I’ve found, beautiful to look at, amazing to eat, and each of them says Thanksgiving, holidays, and fall treats to me.
Hello, all!
In my family I am the pie maker.
And, like most people, I have my favorites, the ones I choose from year to year. However, I love to get new inspiration and try new twists on the classics or even go back to basics and try a classic the way someone else makes it. There are always tips and tricks and little family secrets to learn!

Since I know I’m not the only one obsessed with pie, I decided to put together a list of some of the best recipes I’ve come across recently. And I hope one of these will become a family favorite in my family or in yours! Because Thanksgiving is coming soon and it’s time to make some Thanksgiving pies.
Here I have classics, like apple and pecan (and both of these recipes are old family favorites too!). Pies which should be classics, like chocolate cream and pear, the other fall fruit we all know and love. And pies which are a little bit different, for when you want to break out and do something new, like chocolate pumpkin or cranberry gingersnap.
Are you the pie maker in your family? Or maybe you hope to be? Either way, I think you are going to find some amazing recipes to try out this Thanksgiving.
