1. Stick to the classics and serve this crowd-pleasing Pumpkin Pie with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

2. If you’re oversaturated with pumpkin flavors this season, honor the Thanksgiving pie tradition with an easy Pecan Pie.

3. These Apple Crisp-Stuffed Apples satisfy a week's worth of your recommended fruit intake.

4. Sweet Potato Pie counts as another vegetable serving, right?
