It's not over until you've had a slice (or three) of pie.

Then there's the Thanksgiving menu: the turkey and your favorite side dishes, like mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. But we know what everyone is actually thinking about come dinner time. It's all those pies cooling in the kitchen!
There are many other delicious Thanksgiving dessert options available, like Thanksgiving cakes and Thanksgiving cookies. But when it comes to capping off the annual feast, nothing quite compares to a gorgeous array of Thanksgiving pies.
