Our favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. After all, can the food get any better? Between the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pies—we always leave the table stuffed, and we’re not mad about it. When it comes to pies, there are so many choices—but which ones are the most popular? These are the pies that appear on Thanksgiving tables year and year.
Pumpkin
Nothing screams fall like pumpkins, so of course they have to be part of the Thanksgiving meal. The combination of squash, sweetened milk, and spices make for a show-stopping pie.
Pecan
Down south, pecan pie is on every Thanksgiving table, and we just love the way the brown sugar and crunchy pecans pair together to make a mouth-watering pie.
Apple
They say there’s nothing more American than apple pie, which may be why this pie’s a star at the table this holiday. The apples, cinnamon, sugar, and flaky crust combine to make the perfect dessert.
Sweet Potato
If you love pumpkin pie, you have to try sweet potato pie, which tastes quite similar. Sweet potato pie is a staple in the south—and sometimes there’s even bourbon mixed in.
Chocolate
When we think of Thanksgiving, chocolate isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, but every dessert table should have some sort of chocolate baked good, and chocolate pie doesn’t last long in any family. It’s a favorite of adults and kids alike.
