Amira Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 What are you making/eating this week? I’ll do a pumpkin pie and a berry pie, like always, plus a sour cream apple pie. And I have a new recipe for a peanut butter mousse pie I want to try because it sounds delicious. Then some friends invited us over Thursday morning for a pie party and I’m trying to decide what to take. I want to do two pies with a more local twist, so I’m thinking to do a pumpkin cardamom pie with a phyllo crust, and maybe a coconut custard pie since I can get freshly grated coconut here easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thanksgiving here has always been just the four of us, and we found after several years of searching for the right dessert option that, in fact, no one is really interested in dessert at all after doing justice to the actual meal. This year marks the first time that my daughter isn't coming home for the holiday (family tension combined with financial issues on her end), and I was feeling really down about the whole thing. Then my son announced that his girlfriend would be with us that day. So, now I'm feeling like I need to make an effort, which is probably a good thing. All of that to say that I am planning on adding dessert to the menu. No one here is crazy about pie, and I've been forced by some health issues into the gluten free camp. But I'm thinking of making an apple crisp kind of thing with a topping of oatmeal and crushed nuts. If I lay in some (vegan) vanilla ice cream, then those who wish can add a scoop of ice cream to the crisp, and those who don't want the crisp at all can have ice cream with their chosen toppings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I was informed (jokingly) that I am only invited to Thanksgiving if I bring key lime pies (by my mom, not my aunt who is actually hosting). I am usually asked to do all the pies but I won't be at home this week for baking. I will probably make a pecan and the pumpkin gooey cake everybody likes for the party we are hosting this weekend instead.

Alessandra Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Apple pie with dried cranberries and ginger Pumpkin pie with ginger snap crust I also make a sweet potato cake with brown sugar frosting and a cranberry upside down cake. We only started making pies a few years ago. Kitchn.com had a recipe for a cranberry tart with a nut crust that I will try at another time. Indian pudding is an old favorite. If kids will give up one of the above desserts, I would like to add it in again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Almost no one besides me eats pumpkin pie, so for that one I just buy a small one at the grocery store. And while grocery store crusts aren't as good as homemade, I notice no difference in the pumpkin part (in fact, theirs might be better, or at least more evenly cooked). For the homemade stuff, one dd has requested the peanut butter pie that came from a poster here several years ago--we'll take that one to the church pie social on Wednesday night. Dh has requested mud pie which is super easy. And for his brother's family who are cheesecake people, I got the Costco pack of cheesecake bites which I think we'll all enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 we'll take that one to the church pie social on Wednesday night. This is clearly what is missing from my spiritual walk--I need to find a church that has pie socials. I am making a buttermilk pie here with homemade whipped cream on top. I use the recipe from a Southern Living cookbook I've had 20+ years. Good buttermilk, eggs and the expensive vanilla are critical. My random opinions on other pies, 'cause I know y'all want to know: Despite growing up in Alabama, I am not a fan of pecan pie. I love pecans, just not the pie. Maybe if I could eat a bite, brush my teeth, eat another bite, brush my teeth again. . .. Pumpkin pie is a Yankee food. Sweet potato pie is where it's at. I don't understand chocolate pie. I have rarely met a lemon or key lime pie I did not like, although I feel like someone needs to do a "replace all" for meringue everywhere and go with whipped cream instead. Apple pie--I love a good one and have made some excellent apple pies in my life; I have also made the pie the exact same way and had it turn out yucky. I have never been able to figure out why, and this is a source of great frustration for me. Anyone know how to put cranberries into a pie? I love cranberries and do not have enough ways to eat them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it, although I've never heard of putting nutmeg on the top. The only difficult part is making sure it's done. I usually cook it to the end of the recommended time but then turn the oven off and let the pie sit in the cooling oven until it is not jiggly. It's better the next day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I am making a pumpkin pie for at home. My sister is making a gluten free pumpkin cheesecake for our gathering at our parent's and there will be a lot of other desserts, but DH really wants pumpkin pie, so I told him I would make one for at home. I am planning to make a key lime pie to take with us because youngest requested it and I like to take things he can eat. He has food allergies and sensitivities, so I like to make sure there are at least a couple things he will eat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 My family all loves pecan pie and I make it every Thanksgiving. I will also make pumpkin because I love it and rarely have it any other time. Last year I made a turtle cheesecake as well, but I haven't decided what my third dessert will be this year. I do know with the number I have coming, two pies is probably not enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 My Dad's family used to be big pecan pie fans, but now everybody has partial dentures, bridges, etc...so pecan pie is out sadly for most. I've been told to bring a traditional pumpkin pie as well as cheesecake. So that's what I'll do. I may do a French apple pie which is one of my Mom's favorites. It comes from an old collection of "Gourmet" recipes from the 60s that my Mom got when she was first married. I hate the books because they have zero pictures or illustrations, but this recipe is very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too adore cranberries, and I have made both Alice Waters's Upside Down Cranberry Cake (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/350-alice-waterss-cranberry-upside-down-cake and Laurie Colwin's Nantucket Cranberry Pie, which is basically the same thing except less complicated http://blogsguide.tumblr.com/post/270437566/nantucket-cranberry-pie-from-laurie-colwin many times with great success.

The store that used to carry it discontinued it. I doubled the whipped cream topping from the salted caramel banana cream recipe and put it on both pies.
