Eight Pies You Need To Make This Thanksgiving

We know you’re making pies this Thanksgiving. The only question is: what kind and how many? Using seasonal ingredients like sweet potatoes, apples, maple syrup and peanuts available in the South during the fall, we’ve created a list of eight favorite pies to enjoy during the holiday.,

Take a look and then let us know: what pies are you making this year?

Southern Sweet Potato Pie

One of our favorite food bloggers Monique, from Divas Can Cook is our go-to for all things down-home and southern. We love her sweet potato pie just as much as we love the stories behind her recipes.

Buttermilk Pie

A perennial Southern favorite, the Buttermilk Pie is sure to please at your Thanksgiving dinner. Kaleigh of Lively Table shares a simple recipe with minimal ingredients that can be made with relative ease. And doesn’t that sound wonderful after you’ve spent all day baking a turkey and whipping up the sides?

Apple Cider Pie

Nothing says autumn and Thanksgiving like fresh apples. Add in the warm comforting spice of cider and you’ve got a riot of flavor and sensation for my taste buds. While we love old fashion apple pie, it’s fun to give things a little twist. So this recipe for Apple Cider Pie from Dorothy of Crazy For Just is the perfect pie for apple lovers.

Sweet Corn Pie

You may or may not know that sweet corn in a pie is a thing, but it is down South. And if you think corn and butter and sugar aren’t delicious as the filling of a creamy pie you haven’t had a pie.

This unique pie from The Frayed Apon gets our vote for one of the five pies you have to make this Thanksgiving.

Old Fashioned Candy Roaster Squash Pie

More vintage southern pies! If you can find a Candy Roaster Squash, you’ll be in for a treat when you make this pie. With a consistency similar to sweet potato or pumpkin this pie is delicious and also very healthy (since you are getting your veggies in!). This may not be a surprising recipe for cooks out there who are already preparing butternut squash like sweet potatoes or carrots with cinnamon and brown sugar, but if this is new to you – we promise, it’s quite tasty!

Peanut Pie

North Carolina and Virginia are known for their peanuts, and since they are in season during Thanksgiving it’s the perfect time to make this only-in-the-South dessert for Thanksgiving. There are so many great recipes for this pie, but we love Wendi of Loaves And Dishes recipe.

She uses a cracker crust (We like Ritz!) which creates a nostalgia for the peanut butter crackers we had as kids. It’s so good!
