Midweek Desert: In Search of Perfect Thanksgiving Pies
by Meredith November 14, 2012
How is pie so amazing? Let’s count the ways.
It’s seemingly more rustic than cake, somehow a bit more rough and tumble. It’s deceptively simple and it can feel almost healthy (but not too healthy). It makes you feel closer to former generations. It’s so totally southern. It’s good. It’s . . .
The point here is, we’re on a quest to find some of the best semi-traditional Thanksgiving chocolate and pecan pie recipes the Internet can offer.
Here are just a few of our favorites below ranging from traditional grandma-approved dishes to the unorthodox cake/pie combo.
Chocolates:
Mile High Chocolate Pie from bon appetit.
French Silk Pie from the Pioneer Women
Grandma’s Chocolate Pie from the Homesick Texan
Grandma’s Chocolate Pie from the Homesick Texan.
Pecans:
Pecan Pie Cake from My Recipes.com
Pecan Cheesecake Pie from Southern Living
Bourbon Pumpkin Pecan Pie from Creative Culinary
Pinto Bean Pie from Taste of Home
And just for fun, what about a Pinto Bean Pie (yes, you read that correctly) from Taste of Home?
What kind of pies will you be making next week? We’d love to hear more about them!
