Best Thanksgiving Dessert

[MeanDean]

Tough to decide between Apple Pie or Cherry Pie. If it's made correctly with the right combination of tart apples and sugar, then it's apple all the way. Unfortunately most of them seem to be waaaaaay too sugary.

Warm with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and that's the ultimate.

Otherwise, cherry is next best. Also warm with vanilla ice cream.

Pumpkin is only if there's nothing else, and then, yes, it needs at least equal parts cool whip with the pie.

Real nuts have wrinkles!

I would consider almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts and hazel nuts to all be real nuts and they really aren't a wrinkled.

One of the few regrets in my life is wasting 30+ years before trying the best pie ever.

I’ll try it if anyone brings it tomorrow.

Your first paragraph hits the mark. I stay away from apple so often because it is often executed so poorly. Mrs. Velo (and her mother who taught her) make an awesome apple but over the years I have been conditioned to choose other pies due to poor attempts at apple.

Bourbon dark chocolate pecan pie.

You had me up until you had to throw pecans in there.

Wait, wait, wait! Why is coconut crème not on the list?

Is the real correct answer to the question:

I used to absolutely detest pecans and walnuts - pretty much any tree nuts that were wrinkled. Now I like them, but I find pecan pie pretty meh. I'd much rather have the pumpkin.

FIL has apple pie with a slice of American cheese on top of it.

My grandma does the same. way to ruin apple pie.

Pumpkin with an inch thick layer of cool hwhip on top.

I miss real whipped cream, but no one makes it anymore.

It isn't exactly tough to make.

I know, but no one in the family like it. They all prefer Cool Whip.

I can’t think of too many foods I prefer store bought to homemade but this is one of them. Love cool whip!

The recipe is right there in the name.

Stuffing and gravy while others eat the sweets.

Pecan pie is divine.

Most people in my family try to avoid sweets, and my in-laws all have other dessert preferences, so I usually have to - nay, am thrilled to - buy and consume my own pecan pie during the days around Thanksgiving.

Stuffing and gravy while others eat the sweets.

I never leave room for desert so while Thanksgiving dinner is at like 2:00 desert ends up being around 8:00.

Adding cheese with pie is pretty old school - and I still like it. But it doesn't always work out. I'm a huge apple pie fan and was in a restaurant a while back when I ordered apple pie and asked the woman if she could add a scoop of ice cream and some cheddar cheese. I then asked if she could also warm it up. You guessed it. She added the ice cream and put the cheese on top and then zapped it. What a mess!! By the way, kevdiv48, I hope your grandma puts the cheese on the side and not melted on top. I agree that would kinda ruin both the pie and the cheese, but I've never seen that before. On the other hand, be thankful you have a grandma who will bake you an apple pie!!

You ******* savages.

Pumpkin pie has the consistency of a thick poop.

Pecan pie....people can't even figure out how to pronounce the damn thing.

I love America. It's apple pie or nothing

But, by all means, keep hating America, you *****

Agreed, but we're discussing desserts.
