While pie is wonderful any time of year, there’s no denying that November, in particular, is its time to shine. This year, in addition to must-have traditional Thanksgiving favorites (here’s looking at you, pumpkin) we created six New Classics, ranging from a free-form double-apple galette to a pecan pie-inspired tart reminiscent of a candy bar. Whether you’re ready to try something new or just want the very best version of something familiar, you’ll find these pies will be gobbled up, slice by slice.
Apple Pie
This double-crusted beauty is generously filled with sweet-tart apples, flavored with boiled cider, and spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
Though perhaps untraditional, the gingersnap crust in this version amplifies the flavor of the spices in the pumpkin layer, and enhances the cream cheese layer that hides beneath it.
