Oh, Thanksgiving dessert. I always want to try something new, but then I think: how can you have Thanksgiving without libby's pumpkin pie? You can't. I can't. So, yes, we'll have it. But, now's the time to dream...here are some variations on other great desserts:
+ Cranberry Clafoutis are perfectly light and tart. (Serve with Lemon Curd
+ Apple and Quince Crisp with Rum Raisin from Bon Appetit (pictured above).
+ A mile high pear pie looks divine.
+ You can use the leftovers of this Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze for bread pudding tomorrow morning. Or just eat it plain with coffee...
+ Brown Butter Pecan Pie is the ultimate luxury.
Some snacking items for afterwards, as we all sit around and talk and sing and laugh:
+ Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (the new hot dessert, and so much better than cupcakes when made properly), are the perfect finger food.
+ I'm sorry, what did you say? You're full? No, no, you're never too full for Maple Pecan Popcorn! Just take a handful. Or six.
+ Have I gone this whole day without an Alton Brown recipe? Well, here are his ginger snaps. Eat'um quickly. They are grand.
Alton Brown ginger snaps!? Could these be better than Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Snaps?!
