Thanksgiving always comes with a set of challenges to face: Who will host the dinner? What’s the best time to travel? And of course, which pie will you bake for dessert? A quick search on Pinterest will show you the plethora of holiday pie recipes to choose from, which can seem daunting when choosing which Thanksgiving pie to whip up for the foodie holiday this year.
