If there is one dessert that is typical of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, it definitely has to be pie. Various pies are popular throughout the country, and you will likely see at least one on each table around the country when the big meal is finished.

Here are four wildly popular and traditional pies that you’ll find on Thanksgiving tables every year.

Apple Pie

Apple pie is a Thanksgiving favorite that combines crust with an apple filling that includes sliced apples (usually green), cinnamon, and sugar. It’s even more delicious when topped with vanilla ice cream.

Sweet Potato Pie

If you find yourself in the south of the United States, there are some largely regional pies that are absolutely worth trying. Sweet potato pie is an intriguing twist on pumpkin pie, replacing the traditional filling’s vegetable with this sweet tuber.

Pecan Pie

Another southern regional pie, this pecan version is unbelievably gooey and rich. You might not be able to eat a lot of it, but every bite that you’re able to have before becoming overwhelmed by the sweetness is to die for.

Pumpkin Pie

Well, if there’s one pie that’s emblematic of Thanksgiving above all the rest, it has to be pumpkin pie. This dessert, which is made with a filling that combines pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and eggs, among other ingredients, is a fall favorite.

Pumpkin pie is an autumn classic, but it can be a tricky dessert to put together if it’s your first time making it. Here are some tips to be sure that your pumpkin pie turns out perfect!

Use the Right Spice Combination

The biggest key to making a delicious pumpkin pie is using the right spices. Here are the essential spices for a great pie filling:

  • 4 parts cinnamon
  • 2 parts ginger
  • 1 part nutmeg
  • 1 part clove

Mix these together and your spice is going to be perfect.

Replace White Sugar with Brown Sugar

Be creative and use brown sugar instead of white sugar for your pie filling! Pumpkin pie is a spiced, fall dessert that goes perfectly with the richer tones that brown sugar lends to a pie.

Make Your Own Crust

Say goodbye to pre-made pie crusts and make your own dough in order to become a pumpkin pie master. Trust me when I say that it’s worth it. Do an egg wash before putting it in the oven and you’ll be amazed at just how tasty it is.

Top it with Whipped Cream

A delicious slice of pumpkin pie isn’t complete without a dollop of whipped cream on top. Be sure to add a nice drop of it in order to give some creamy richness to your pie!

Next, include the flour. Start adding the cream very slowly and then pour in the chicken broth. Wait for the mix to start boiling and it should become thick in 3 to 4 minutes.

Take it off the stove and add the flat-leaf parsley together with the peas. Leave it on the side to cool down for half an hour.

In the meantime prepare a 9-inch plate and the crusts. Put one pie crust on the bottom, and add the filling. Cover it with the second pie crust. Cut small parts of the top or poke it with a fork.

If you’ve been dying to try a Frito pie, this recipe will take 30 minutes of your time.

Ingredients:

For the frito pie you should get 1 chopped medium onion, 2 15-oz cans beans, 1 pound ground beef, 9-3/4 oz corn chips, 2 10-oz cans enchilada sauce, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, green onions. The beans should be pinto with tomato sauce.

Instructions:

This Frito pie you can serve like an appetizer, lunch or dinner. The whole beauty of the recipe is that you need half an hour to make it. Start by getting a skillet, where you’ll cook the onions together with the ground beef. Also, set the oven on 350 F degrees. Cook the meat for 6 to 8 minutes on medium heat. Stir constantly, so that you don’t have large chunks of meat. When you’re done, you can remove the excess liquid. Include the beans and start stirring again.

Grab a baking dish and grease the bottom. Start putting the corn chips on the bottom. Add a second layer with the meat on top, including the cheese and enchilada. Finish off with a second layer of chips. You should now put the dish in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. When it’s done, top off the frito pie with the green onions and serve with sour cream on the side.

Kabocha Pie!!! 🍰

A post shared by Fiona Flys🚀 (@fionaflys) on

In a blender mix several spoons of the brown sugar with the walnuts. Start blending until you get large pieces.

Use a bowl to mix the spices, graham cracker crumbs, nuts, the rest of the brown sugar, salt, and lime zest. Include the butter as well and mix everything together.

You can grab the pie plate and start applying the mixture with pressure to the bottom. Leave it in the oven for 12 minutes.
