I'm baking two pies this year: Pumpkin, of course, and Apple. The pumpkin is all for me!!!!, and the apple is for my Brit family. Try as I might, they can't wrap their Scottish heads around pumpkin being anything but savory.
What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?

What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?
Are >YOU< and your family a fan of Pumpkin Pie, or do you shudder at the thought of it? Do you have more than one dessert? And who's supplying the dessert this year: you? a relative? a bakery? or the local deli?

Re: What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?
I'm bonkers for a good pecan pie, Laury, but I'm the only one who will eat it. So, throughout the year, I'll just buy one slice of it at various bakeries, and be done with it. That gooey centre is my undoing!

Re: What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?
I always make a pumpkin pie. The only time of year I make one.
I also make a small spice cake (from scratch), yes ... I actually bake. It is really really good
One year I made for just Mom and me ... A pumpkin flan. I loved it, so did she. The others had their pie fix. We were both very happy. But I stay with tradition and do make it each year. Fresh whipped cream is the key.

I always make a pumpkin cake roll during the Thanksgiving season too, with the cream cheese/powdered sugar icing. This year for the actual Thanksgiving Holiday Hubby has requested a Pecan Pie PLUS a pumpkin pie!

Re: What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?
We are making pumpkin pie, apple crisp, and some type of cake.
But Denise told me about this recipe, so I am trying this one in addition to our normal pie! http://thanksgiving.food.com/recipe/sim ... pie-103678

Re: What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?
Gee, it's nice to see how many people are making pumpkin pie this year! 
I know that for the past two years, at Zaar we had threads going about canned pumpkin shortages and member's actually helping other members secure some scarce pumpkin. Awwwwww....
This year, I'm making a pumpkin pie influenced by our Crocus.
She posted this recipe in a thread at Kitten's that dealt with recipes saved from packages. I'm going to do a trial run next week and see what it's like, compared to my standard pumpkin Libby's recipe.
Crocus' Pumpkin Pie Recipe:
Pumpkin Pie
1 14 oz. can pumpkin; NOT pie filler
2/3 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup evaporated milk, heated about 1 minute in microwave
Mix sugar and spices. Add pumpkin and blend well. Add eggs, mix thoroughly. Add heated milk and blend. Pour into uncooked pie shell and bake for 10 minutes at 450°F, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue to cook. A large 10" deep-dish pie will need 30 more minutes or until knife inserted in centre comes out clean. This would also make 2 smaller pies, cooking time would be less.

Re: What Desserts are you planning for Thanksgiving?
I do have to give kudos to Libby. If it wasn't for her (him) ... I wouldn't make pumpkin pie. As many know, I hate baking ... but I do it know and then. premade pie crust, Libby pie mix, but fresh whipped cream.
I do make my spice cake from scratch.
