Happy Halloween! We’re celebrating with… pie?
Halloween isn’t so much my thing, but I am (obviously) a huge Thanksgiving fan. And there’s a chill in the air and I’m finally getting into the whole fall flavors thing, let’s take those Halloween pumpkins and turn them into pies!
But first let’s play a game: apple pie, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie – how would you rank them?
Pecan is head and shoulders above the rest for me, then apple, with pumpkin coming in a distant third. Plain old pumpkin pie just never really does it for me, but it’s Nate’s favorite, which is why I decided that this year I’m going to make a super trashed-up pumpkin pie. We’re talking not-your-Grandma’s-pumpkin-pie. (Although I’m sure your Grandma makes a killer pie.) But in my perfect, dreamy pumpkin pie… there might be some liquor. Or some chocolate. It might be vegan. I haven’t decided yet, because there are so many options! And because I want you to be riddled with the same indecision, I present to you: Not Your Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie Recipe Roundup.
We’re going to raise a few eyebrows around the Thanksgiving table this year!

chocolate pumpkin pie?!!!
I know… I just might have to make it!
What a great idea for a post! I’m with you- plain pumpkin pie isn’t really my jam. I can really take it or leave it, especially if there are other dessert options that contain chocolate. But chocolate pumpkin pie or pumpkin cheesecake? Yum!
The pumpkin cheesecake definitely caught my eye!
Happy Halloween, love! What a great roundup – I want allll them trashed-up pies! Have a fun weekend!
Meee too. Definitely making one this weekend!
Pumpkin pie is my favorite! And then pecan and then apple. I guess I’m not much of a fruit pie gal.
I love that you rounded up all of the best recipes! Takes the effort out of searching come Tofurkey Day. ;)
Happy Halloween!
I guess you don’t need to add bourbon and chocolate to yours then… more for the rest of us :)
My favorites list is apple, pumpkin and then pecan. But I might change my mind after trying the pumpkin-praline pie! Awesome list, thanks.
I am all about the praline after going to New Orleans recently!
I made the Pumpkin-Praline pie from Pop Sugar yesterday and it was so good that I’m making it for thanksgiving instead of my usual one. I made a few changes. I decreased the sugar a bit in both the pie and topping and it was still plenty sweet and since I didn’t have evaporated milk I used half the amount called for and used cream. Thanks for sharing the links!
Yay so glad you made it!
Pie making was on my New Years goal list this year (and has been for the last ten years) and I am going to make one this year! Finally I will conquer my fear of the gluten free crust :) Thanks for all the great ideas. I’m headed off to find my nearest pumpkin, and my Mama’s pie plate!
Now there is a New Year’s resolution you should DEFINITELY keep! I think this is your year :)
