If Thanksgiving is the Super Bowl of food holidays, we like to think of pie as the starting quarterback. It’s just not Thanksgiving if it doesn’t end with something sweet in a crust. Here are 50 of our favorite recipes—from tried-and-true classics to new ideas that might just become tradition in your family.
