Ten easy and delicious desserts full of seasonal, fall flavors. Any of these recipes would be perfect for your Thanksgiving table.
Does your family have the same desserts every year for Thanksgiving? While we love the traditional pumpkin and pecan pies, we like to have a few other options as well. Any of these recipes are worthy of a Thanksgiving celebration. They can be made ahead, freeing up your oven for the rest of the meal. Plus they are full of fall flavors, like maple, pumpkin, caramel, apple, and pecan. Happy Thanksgiving baking!
