Through a heated debate, my suitemates helped me rank the best Thanksgiving pies. When I say this debate was heated, I mean it was heated. Most of us were nearly shouting. Good thing our RA likes us and didn’t mind…they even joined in on the conversation.

1. Pumpkin

Whether apple or pumpkin should be ranked first was perhaps the most controversial debate. I personally think pumpkin is more of a Thanksgiving pie, whereas apple can be eaten any time throughout the fall.

2. Apple

I love apple pie. I love that there are so many different types: apple crumble, apple crisp, etc. Even though I like apple more than pumpkin, I still think pumpkin makes me think of Thanksgiving more than apple pie does! 

3. Pecan

Pecan pie is good, just very sweet. Def not as good as pumpkin or apple, but it still gives me the holiday feels. 

4. Peach

I love love love peaches. They are definitely more of a summer fruit, but they are still really great in Thanksgiving pies.

5. Blueberry

I hate blueberries in everything. However, I know that blueberry pie is very popular around this time of year and I know some people who actually like it…so I figured it should be included. 

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving pie?
