Thanksgiving is a holiday filled with tradition, togetherness, and, of course, incredible food. While turkey might be the star of the meal, the right dessert selection can make your Thanksgiving feast truly memorable. This year, we’re introducing five limited-time pies that will elevate your holiday table: Dutch Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Cheesecake Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, and Pecan Pie. Each pie brings a unique flavor profile that pairs perfectly with the traditional Thanksgiving feast, adding an unforgettable finish to the holiday meal. Here are five ways these delicious pies can make your Thanksgiving even more special.
The Dutch Apple Pie combines the flavors of fresh apples, cinnamon, and a buttery crumb topping, creating a pie that’s sweet, warm, and incredibly comforting. With a crunchy, sugary topping and a tender apple filling, this pie pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Why It Elevates Thanksgiving:
The Dutch Apple Pie’s traditional flavors make it the perfect companion for a holiday that’s all about heritage and warmth. Offering this as a dessert option will evoke nostalgia and coziness, rounding out a hearty Thanksgiving meal. The rich sweetness of apples and cinnamon also pairs wonderfully with the savory notes of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
Serving Tip:
Consider serving this pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The cold, creamy ice cream creates a delightful contrast with the warm, spiced apples.
Pumpkin Pie is synonymous with Thanksgiving, and for good reason. This pie combines creamy pumpkin puree with warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, resulting in a dessert that perfectly captures the flavors of fall. This traditional favorite is a crowd-pleaser and offers a taste of classic Thanksgiving nostalgia.
Why It Elevates Thanksgiving:
Pumpkin Pie embodies the essence of Thanksgiving. Its subtle sweetness and smooth texture make it a calming end to the meal, perfectly balancing the bold flavors of savory sides and turkey. Adding our special Pumpkin Pie to your table brings warmth and familiarity, evoking cherished holiday memories.
Serving Tip:
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. For an extra twist, try pairing it with a spiced coffee or chai tea to enhance the pumpkin’s earthy notes.
For those looking for a unique twist on Thanksgiving dessert, Cheesecake Pie is a delightful addition to the holiday table. Combining the dense, creamy texture of cheesecake with a buttery crust, this pie brings a refreshing change to the Thanksgiving lineup. With its smooth and slightly tangy flavor, Cheesecake Pie offers a lighter yet luxurious dessert option.
Why It Elevates Thanksgiving:
Cheesecake Pie provides an unexpected surprise in a lineup of traditional desserts. Its creamy, rich texture and subtle sweetness create an elegant finish to the meal. Guests who enjoy cheesecake will appreciate this alternative, and its versatility makes it a great pairing with coffee, fruit compote, or chocolate.

Add a berry sauce on top or garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a beautiful, festive presentation. This dessert is perfect for guests who might prefer a lighter, more refined end to the meal.
Chocolate lovers will find themselves drawn to this rich and luscious Chocolate Cream Pie. With a velvety chocolate filling and a whipped cream topping, this pie is a decadent treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth. The contrast between the dark, rich chocolate and the light, fluffy cream creates a delightful flavor and texture experience.

Chocolate Cream Pie adds a touch of luxury to your Thanksgiving spread. Its indulgent, satisfying flavors make it an exciting option for guests looking for a bit of a departure from traditional pies. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, making it a fantastic way to end a long, satisfying meal.

Pecan Pie is another Thanksgiving staple, known for its caramel-like filling and crunchy pecan topping. Made with toasted pecans, brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla, this pie brings a delightful nuttiness that complements the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Its deep, sweet flavors are perfect for those who enjoy a heartier dessert.
