25 of the Best Thanksgiving Pies

This collection of the Best Thanksgiving Pies has all the classics to the must-haves. From pumpkin to pecan and apple to cherry, we have you covered.

I love Thanksgiving – it is actually my favorite holiday to gather friends and family around the table. It’s the holiday that is the most relaxed. No hustle and bustle of presents. And the candy from Halloween is almost gone by then.

Thanksgiving is about great food, conversation, and time together. Oh, okay, and well, football, too.

Pie Baking Tips

Keep ingredients cold – For flaky crusts, make sure your butter, shortening, and water are very cold before mixing.
Blind bake when needed – Pre-bake crusts for custard or cream pies to avoid a soggy bottom.
Use a pie shield – Prevent over-browning of the edges by covering them with foil or a silicone shield.
Let pies cool completely – Especially custard or cream pies, to allow them to set properly.
Which pies need to be refrigerated, and which can be safely kept at room temperature? Always refrigerate pies that contain eggs or dairy, such as cream, custard, pumpkin, mousse, or chiffon, once they’ve cooled. Stored this way, they’ll stay fresh for up to two days.

Fruit pies, on the other hand, can safely sit at room temperature for two days without any issues.

Hope this helps you enjoy your pies safely and deliciously!

I love that my hubby and kids play in a Turkey Bowl with other family and friends every year. Then come back here to a table spread that is to die for. Each year, we rotate on where we spend Thanksgiving, but this year, I am so excited to be able to host it on our house.

While my hubby is trying to convince me to skip the turkey this year and do rotisserie chicken, one thing that won’t be missing from our table is pie. Lots and lots of pie. In the search for the best of the best, I found my favorite, and today I am sharing them with you.
