A collection of the best Thanksgiving Day pies, from classic favorites to fresh twists that bring flavor and aesthetic to your holiday feast.

Whether you’re gathering with besties for Friendsgiving or (mentally) preparing for a hot mess family reunion, these pies can at least get you through dessert duty. Swap the standard pecan for cashew, opt for an open-faced galette, or add some color with ube or red wine poached pears. You’ve got this.

Almond Pear Tart

This almond pear tart combines wine-poached pears and creamy frangipane inside a buttery crust for an elegant, unforgettable dessert.

Ube Pie

This Filipino ube pie is vibrant, creamy, richly flavored with hints of coconut, and is a step up from typical pumpkin.

Chocolate Chess Pie

Rich, fudgy chocolate chess pie with a crackly top and silky center is a simple, crowd-pleasing dessert perfect for any chocolate lover.

Pumpkin Tart

This pumpkin tart is dense, rich, and deeply concentrated. In other words, it’s the best pumpkin pie without the soggy, squashy texture.

Ginger Pear Galette

This easy pear galette is filled with ripe pears and warm fall spices for a cozy dessert that’s simple yet impressive.

Bourbon Cashew Tart

This cashew tart, made with bourbon and brown butter, features deep toasted flavors and a firm and chewy texture.

Apple Cobbler Pie

This apple cobbler pie, topped with a spreadable sliceable crust, is an easy and delicious fall dessert you can’t mess up.

Bubble Tea Tart

This bubble tea tart has a milky base, ripples of brown sugar, and pearls of light and bouncy chew. A classic boba drink flavor combo.
