Dessert, Thanksgiving Recipes

WOW. This was AMAZING! I got so many compliments on it, and a few people said they liked it better than pumpkin pie. I have to say I might just agree with that. I made it exactly as it said on the recipe, except I omitted the nuts and added a bit extra cinnamon and some pumpkin pie spice to the cake batter.

Classic Kentucky pecan pie with dark brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and a heap of pecans on top. The Dear Abby reader-favorite recipe from the back of newspapers nationwide.

Classic Karo pecan pie made with light corn syrup, sugar, and a heaping cup and a half of toasted pecan halves. The original Thanksgiving and Christmas pie recipe, stir it all in one bowl and bake.

"Pudding and whipped topping -- the perfect combination for this yummy no-bake, cold and creamy pie."

There are ground pecans in the shell, there are chopped pecans in the maple-brown sugar filling, and there are maple candied pecans arranged on top. The sweetness comes from both dark brown sugar and maple syrup, and there are some chopped dried cherries and rum added into the filling as well. A classic pecan pie is twisted with a modern way to make it more delicious and appealing, and everyone will give you a big "wow".

The pumpkin filling was very smooth and silky-like texture, I used all evaporated milk, reduced the sugar a bit, and the pumplin pie looked and tasted great with the right amount of sweetness. I had this tasty pumpkin pie with a dollop of Greek yogurt, and I absolutely enjoyed it.

Easy pecan pie with butterscotch chips folded into a classic Karo syrup filling. The Thanksgiving and Christmas pie that bakes up glossy, gooey, and dotted with caramel pockets.

Georgia pecan pie with dark corn syrup, butter, and a full cup of toasted pecans baked into a glossy custard filling. The Southern Thanksgiving classic, no fuss, no fancy.

I like to add pumpkin spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice & ginger. I also add a handful each of dried cranberries and walnuts. I cut into equal triangles from a round. When completely cooled, I drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze.

"Fluffy cream cheese filling sandwiched between two moist pumpkin cookies make these Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pies the perfect hand-held snack you just won't be able to resist!"

Nancy Reagan's pumpkin pecan pie marries two Thanksgiving favorites in one shell. A pumpkin custard sweetened with dark corn syrup hides under a layer of toasty pecans. Holiday pie that ends every debate over which to bake.

A Greek favorite that makes everyone think you are a master chef and is sooo easy to make!! I taught a Greek friend how to make apple pie and she taught me this fabulous recipe. The phyllo dough for this recipe is found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Add a little lemon zest to the sugar sauce, if desired.

Cranberries, walnuts, and orange. Who wouldn't love this combination. These cookies are also made with whole wheat flour and applesauce, which is much healthier but still tastes delicious.

Libby's famous pumpkin pie is the back-of-the-can American Thanksgiving classic: pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and warm spices baked into a flaky pie shell. Holiday dessert gold standard.

Buttery shortbread cookies studded with spiced mincemeat and finished with sweet vanilla glaze. Festive holiday treats that taste like Christmas in every crumbly bite.

This is an easy to make pumpkin pie, and the flavor is also wonderful. A great dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
