Pie is the classic ending to a Thanksgiving meal, but year after year of your Grandmother’s “famous” pie can get a little (dare I say) boring. Spice up your Thanksgiving meal – and seriously impress your relatives – by making one of these pie-inspired recipes instead.
1. Apple Pie Dip
This apple pie dip is perfectly complimented with cinnamon sugar pie crust chips. Dip, dip hooray!
2. Pumpkin Pie Crescent Rolls
Use extra dough from dinner to whip up these super easy pumpkin pie crescent rolls. Or try roll up apple slices for an apple pie variation
3. Apple Pie in an Apple
Save the hassle of rolling out a pie crust. With this dessert, you can use the apple itself instead to make single-serve cups.
4. Spiced Sweet Potato Bread
Sweet potato pie has met its match. Pair a warm slice of this spiced sweet potato bread with a drizzle of honey for the perfect Thanksgiving day snack.
5. Caramel Apple Pie Pizza
Imagine apple pie, but with an added layer of warm gooey caramel and turned into a pizza. That’s what you get with this caramel apple pie pizza. Plus, look how pretty it is.
6. Pumpkin Pie Cookie Butter Pull Apart Bread
Pumpkin pie. Cookie butter. Pull apart bread. It doesn’t get much better than these three foods combined into one decadent dessert. Oh, and remember to top it with ice cream.
7. Apple Pie Tacos
Score major style points with your family by making these apple pie tacos. With a puff pastry shell and classic apple filling, no one will miss boring old pie.

This is perfect for a person who loves pumpkin but hates pie (yes, that is possible). Well, let them eat cake – specifically, this pumpkin pie cake.
10. Graham Cracker Pecan Chocolate Bars
This dessert really raises the bar (pun intended). Dusted with snowy powdered sugar, these graham cracker pecan chocolate bars really ring in the winter season.
11. Apple Pie Cups
These cups are as simple as they are aesthetically pleasing. With crunchy walnuts, sweet apples, and thick whipped cream, you won’t even miss plain pie.
