Sweet Potato and Apple Crumble Pie
This punchy fall dessert will satisfy both the apple pie and sweet potato pie lovers in your life.
Dry-Brined Thanksgiving Turkey With Chiles
It’s time for Thanksgiving turkey to take center stage again with this hot, blazing sun of a bird, leaning as it does on the savory, sweet and hot complexity of peppers. North and South America’s delicious native crop is used in both fresh and dried forms here. Inspired by a recipe from Niya Bajaj, a home cook who shared her turkey formula through Instagram, this dish takes full advantage of the different peppers’ flavor and heat, and celebrates its journey across the world. Turkey this assertively spiced — with coolness from mint, savoriness from cumin and fire from chiles — tastes excellent with mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole and macaroni and cheese. Using a mix of chiles results in the most explosive taste, but be sure to warn your guests before they dive into the plate of turkey fat-confited peppers. Some might be blazing.

Jellied Cranberry Sauce
Liven your holiday table up with this perfectly set, deeply flavorful jellied cranberry sauce. It's just as smooth and sliceable as canned cranberry sauce, but the flavor is so much better.
Pumpkin Biscuits With Honey Butter
These moist, buttery, pumpkin-y biscuits are the perfect use for that last bit of pumpkin purée in the can. They boast crunchy tops, soft centers and a flavor that lands somewhere between sweet and savory. They come together in no time at all, with just a bowl and a spoon, and their cheery orange hue makes them a perfect addition to any holiday table. The biscuits are best warm from the oven but can be reheated in a low oven or toaster oven just before serving. Don’t forget the sweet and salty honey butter on the side, which makes these biscuits extra special.
Simple Cranberry-Pear Crisp
Juicy, sweet pears and tart cranberries are a perfect fall pairing in this easy dessert. Dark brown sugar adds a rich caramel note, and a handful of dried cranberries gives this crisp a pleasantly chewy texture. The buttery topping is gently spiced with cinnamon, but feel free to add any warm baking spices you prefer. If you’re the planning type, you can make the crisp topping up to 2 weeks in advance, storing it in an airtight container in the freezer. Break up any large clumps, then use as directed in the recipe, adding just a few minutes of bake time.
Pumpkin Pecan Sheet Cake
Can’t decide which pie to bake this holiday? Take dessert in a different direction with this spiced pumpkin cake slathered in brown sugar caramel and showered with toasted pecans. This cake owes its pillowy texture to a lush, mayonnaise-like base made by slowly streaming oil into long-whipped, room-temperature eggs. The addition of corn syrup ensures the cake stays moist for days; there is no substitute for it. To keep the topping gooey, don’t stir it once off the heat. Excessive stirring will cause it to crystalize and set with a brittle texture.

Bread Pudding
In the cold months of winter there’s nothing better than digging into a warm, custardy bread pudding. The good news is it’s incredibly easy to make: Just soak chunks of toasted bread in a spiced vanilla custard and bake the casserole until the top is crisp for a comforting and crowd pleasing dessert for holidays or any day.

Cranberry Trifle
With layers of fluffy angel food cake, bittersweet amaro, tart cranberry jam, and creamy whipped mascarpone, this holiday trifle tastes like a celebration.
Butter Swim Biscuits
These tender, buttery, crisp buttermilk biscuits satisfy all urgent cravings. You can happily set aside any hesitancy about preparing biscuits because these tangy, fluffy ones come together quickly — no cutting cold butter into flour or rolling out dough. The batter is combined in one bowl and then spread over melted butter, giving the impression of a batter swimming in butter, as the name suggests. While the biscuits bake, they absorb all the buttery goodness and crisp up around the edges. Butter swim biscuits are best served warm and fresh out of the oven but will keep covered at room temperature for up to one day (see Tip).

Sweet Potato Cheesecake
A huge slab of cheesecake brimming with sweet potato flavor, drenched in caramel sauce. Just because you can.
Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie
This is grown-up banana pudding in pie form. One bite, and you may never want banana pudding any other way. Salted butterscotch pudding pairs with ripe, sweet bananas for a balanced (and slightly boozy, if using rum) filling. A crunchy pistachio and vanilla wafer crust nestles the thick custard, while a not-too-sweet crème fraîche topping lightens the whole thing. Be sure to slice and serve this pie directly from the refrigerator — if it doesn’t stay cold, it may be messy. (Watch me make my Thanksgiving pies on YouTube.)
Sesame-Swirled Pumpkin Pie
The addition of sesame in two forms — as oil and in tahini — results in a sumptuous spin on this Thanksgiving staple. Just a couple of teaspoons of toasted sesame oil lends a nutty savoriness that makes this longtime holiday favorite feel new and exciting, and a slightly sweetened tahini mixture, swirled into the pumpkin custard, creates a striking marbled surface. Gently cooling the pie in the oven will help prevent cracking, though depending on your tahini’s fat content, it may end up splitting slightly along the swirl lines. It will still be beautiful and delicious. (Watch me make my Thanksgiving pies on YouTube.)
Coconut Caramel Tart
Eating this tart is like biting into a grown-up Girl Scout cookie. A crisp chocolate shortbread shell is filled with a creamy, slightly nutty frangipane, and topped with coconut caramel, drizzled chocolate and flaky sea salt. This recipe is formatted for a 9-inch pie plate but can easily be amended to fit a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom without any difference in bake times. While making your own caramel may seem like a daunting task, the “wet” method of dissolving sugar in a little water before caramelizing it is approachable and foolproof. Take care to keep an eye on its color to ensure it doesn’t burn and end up bitter. Add the cream when the caramel is amber and you’ll be in for a real treat.

Pomegranate Cardamom Apple Pie
Like most good things, terrific apple pie takes a little bit of time, but it’s worth the anticipation. In this variation, sweet and tart apples are cooked first in a fragrant, jewel-toned pomegranate reduction so they all bake more evenly. Placing the pie on the bottom rack ensures that the bottom crust cooks through before the top crust gets too dark. You may be tempted to cut into it warm, but the pie needs to cool for at least four hours to be sliceable. (Watch me make my Thanksgiving pies on YouTube.)
Cranberry Citrus Meringue Pie
This delightfully tart pie is an autumnal twist on a classic lemon meringue. Bright, tangy citrus curd is topped with cranberry Swiss meringue. The egg white mixture can take a while to temper, slowly warming up over simmering water, then cooling as it’s whisked. But patience will pay off as it results in a luxurious marshmallow consistency that holds its shape even after days in the refrigerator. Chilling the fully assembled pie will make it easier to cut, and wiping off your knife between slices will result in cleaner edges. Don’t feel limited to lemon and orange for the curd filling: A mix of any tart and sweet citrus — grapefruit and blood orange, for example — will work nicely.

Hasselback Butternut Squash

Iowa Ham Balls
Not your average meatballs, these Iowa ham balls are a regional favorite in which ham and ground pork are bound with buttery crackers and tangy buttermilk, then shaped and baked in a sticky sweet sauce.

Roasted Acorn Squash With Red Onions
Pair wedges of roasted acorn squash with thick slices of jammy, caramelized red onions, then top it with an orange juice- and honey-tinged vinaigrette for a delicious side. The key to its success is our unique roasting technique.
Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas
Empanada dough is your blank canvas! Found in the freezer section of most Latin supermarkets, these handy disks can be filled with just about anything. Transform last night's leftovers into a whole new meal—think roasted vegetables, shredded chicken, or even leftover chili. These chicken pot pie empanadas are a delicious example of how creative you can get. Fry or bake them until golden for a satisfying snack or meal.
Cranberries and Cream
Inspired by British fool, swirl the last spoonful of Thanksgiving cranberry sauce into whipped heavy cream and Greek yogurt for a creamy, cooling relief after the big meal. For a little crunch, dunk into it with gingersnaps, or use the cranberries and cream in place of plain whipped cream atop slices of pumpkin, apple or pecan pie for a tart contrast to the sweet pie. Because yogurt adds structure to the whipped cream, the mixture can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated for up to 4 hours, and if you want to make this another night and don’t have cranberry sauce, substitute cherry or raspberry preserves.
Maple & Milk Chocolate Chess Pie
A custard base pie made primarily with maple syrup and milk chocolate, and an all-butter pie crust.
