Tipsy Favs: Thanksgiving Pie

PIE! Who doesn’t look forward to the pie at Thanksgiving?! Well we sure do!  And these are the ones that make us salivate come Thursday of next week.

1. AK-Cherry Pie-So I know all of you will probably be like what?! That’s not a Thanksgiving pie!  Well see, the thing is, I’m not an all pie loving kind of person.  I like two kinds of pie, cherry and apple.  And to make things worse, I’m a crust snob.  I only like pie that has been made with homemade crust. So generally my mother, the queen of pie making, will make me a cherry pie at Thanksgiving and at Christmas and this is the only time of year I have pie.  Then she makes pecan pie or pumpkin pie for the rest of the fam.
2. Sarah-Buttermilk Pie-Like, AK, this is not your “typical” Thanksgiving pie; however, it’s the only dessert I look forward to during the holidays! (I’m more of a stuffing and mashed potato’s girl.) My MIL makes the BEST buttermilk pie I’ve ever had, and you can bet your a$# I will be fighting for multiple pieces of this bad boy on November 25.
3. Court-Cheesecake-This is definitely not even your typical pie, much less, Thanksgiving pie.  However; to clarify or even possibly to start a debate (bring it) a pie is anything with a crust and filling, so cheesecake is really in the pie family 🙂  Anywho, Ben’s Dad makes the best homemade plain cheesecake for many special occasions that have included Thanksgiving.  LOVE IT.
4. Der-Dutch Apple Pie-My favorite pie, Thanksgiving or not, is hands down Dutch apple pie. The brown sugary crumbly topping is Heaven on Earth I tell ya.
