Serve the unexpected this holiday season. Put your collection of pies on the backburner, and try an autumnal cake or cookie instead. These signature cakes, cookies, and bars will be the star of the show against a very saturated pie spread. The time is now to serve stuffing cups and mashed cauliflower puree, but do you dare go beyond the classic pumpkin or apple pie? The answer is yes. You can always opt for pumpkin pie alternatives. Or, if you’d rather skip the pies altogether, here are some Thanksgiving desserts that break the mold and taste delicious while doing so.
