Yes, it’s Thanksgiving, and that means we have food takes. SOOOOOOO MANY FOOD TAKES!
I’m here to totally stir the pot (pun slightly intended) with a ranking of the best pies you can get for Thanksgiving, which might eliminate things like chicken pot pie, which is a pie but not the kind of pie we’re talking about here. And while this might be more suited for Pi Day, we’re publishing this the day before Thanksgiving, just in time for you to figure out which pie to make for your feast.
Let’s rank the 10 best pies for Thanksgiving as we get set for Turkey Day:
10
Cherry pie
Honestly, not my thing. There are better fruits to put into a pie!
9
Blackberry pie
Again, solid fruit, but better fruit pies are ahead!
8
Apple pie
That’s right, go ahead and yell at me. I’ll wait.
Done? Good. Apple pie is overrated. I would much rather eat the other pies on this list than eat the melted, soft apples baked into a pie. Sorry not sorry.
7
Blueberry pie
This right here? This is a damn good pie.
6
Sweet potato pie
A Thanksgiving favorite and an underrated pie if made right!
5
Key Lime Pie
Who’s to say this isn’t a pie you can show up with to Thanksgiving? The limes plus the cream is just [chef’s kiss]!
4
Pecan pie*
Why the asterisk? Because (gulp) I’m allergic to tree nuts. So I polled some people who have eaten this pie and they agree this is a top-five pie. Thanks for the consultation, friends.
3
Pumpkin pie
Who looked at a pumpkin and was like, I CAN MAKE A PIE OUT OF THIS? A genius, that’s who. Dump a whole bunch of sugar in here, some cinnamon and boom.
2
Peanut butter pie
1
Any pie with chocolate in it
That’s right, I dragged you all the way here to tell you that the best pies have chocolate and not fruit in them. Mississippi Mud Pie, French Silk pie, you name it. It’s the best.
