Traditional Pumpkin Pie
This simple pumpkin pie is made with canned pumpkin, evaporated milk and the classic pumpkin pie spices: cinnamon, ground ginger and nutmeg.
Bourbon Pumpkin Pie
This rich pie, which is featured in our Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner menu, is spiked with bourbon and garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie with Caramelized Walnuts
Chef Curtis Stone makes the crust and the filling for this rich pumpkin pie from scratch.
Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Pie
Bittersweet chocolate adds a nice edge to creamy pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin Mascarpone Pie
A creamy swirl of mascarpone or cream cheese decorates this pretty pie.
Brandied Pumpkin Pie
Crystalized ginger, cloves and a little brandy (such as Cognac) enliven this pumpkin pie.
Apple Pie
This classic apple pie by veteran recipe developer Lori Powell (also part of our Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner menu) contains both Gala and Granny Smith apples -- the combination gives the pie varied texture and sweet and tart flavors. (See How to Choose Apples to learn about the different varieties.)
Caramel Apple Pie
This pie has a delectable crumb topping made from oats, brown sugar and pecans and is drizzled with caramel.
Rustic Apple Pie
This super-simple apple pie requires only 20 minutes of prep time.
Walnut-Streusel Apple Pie
A buttery walnut topping makes an otherwise simple apple pie rich.
Jeweled Apple Tart
Phyllo dough takes the place of regular pie crust in this apple tart, which also contains dried cherries and (optional) chopped nuts.
Oatmeal Nut-Crunch Apple Pie
Whole-wheat crust, rolled oats and walnuts make for a robust -- even wholesome -- apple pie.
This classic take on pecan pie is spiked with just a little bourbon.
Salted Caramel Pecan Pie
Top Chef Just Desserts host Gail Simmons makes a killer pecan pie; her secret ingredient is salt, which brings out the depth of buttery flavor in this dessert.
Pecan Tart
If you can't find the Lyle's Golden Syrup called for in this recipe by chef Curtis Stone, use two parts light corn syrup plus one part molasses or equal parts honey and corn syrup.
Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
This pie is both incredibly rich and incredibly easy to make -- the perfect combo for Turkey Day.
Bourbon Raisin Pecan Pie
Raisins steeped in bourbon add a juicy, boozy touch to this pecan pie.
Chocolate Pecan Pie with Kahlua
Coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua, intensifies the chocolate flavor in this over-the-top pecan pie.
At its simplest, chess pie -- a southern classic -- consists of a rich custard-style pie with a crispy, browned top. This version also has chocolate and pecans.
Sweet Potato Pie
Freshly baked sweet potatoes are combined with sugar, evaporated milk, butter and spices for an easy and scrumptious pie.
Brown Butter Cranberry Tart
Who says cranberries are just for sauce? In this recipe, they make a gorgeous topping for a buttery tart.
Grape Pie
Apples are great, but this pie -- starring another seasonal star -- is a nice change of pace.
Pear and Almond Custard Tart
Pears are also in season at Thanksgiving time -- here they're the filling for a tart with a cookie-crumb crust.
