Looking to end your Thanksgiving on a (sugar) high note but don’t feel like baking? Here’s a list of must-try pies that come fully prepared.
Bread Winners Café
Bread Winners is known for its brunch, but don’t forget to utilize their bakery. Order from a wide range of pies, including apple crumb pie, pecan streusel, bourbon pecan, strawberry rhubarb, sour cream apple, and their new lemon gingersnap cream pie.
Empire Baking Co.
Pre-order your pies from Empire Baking. The bakery is offering their always-delightful Texas pecan pie, apple cranberry pie, and a classic pumpkin pie. These treats go fast, which is always a good sign.
Emporium Pies
Emporium Pies released their fall favorites in September. Classics include buttercream pie, apple pie, and bourbon pecan pie. Their Thanksgiving pies have also hit the menu and are pre-order ready. The Drop Dead Gorgeous pie is a must: a spicy pumpkin pie on a gingerbread crust. Emporium’s Cloud Nine is the pie of all pies. It is three layers with caramel, a butterscotch filling, and a brown sugar meringue. Go to their website to view all of their offerings.
Highland Park Cafeteria
Highland Park Cafeteria is anything but your middle school lunchroom. This Thanksgiving, order all your classic pies at HPC. They have homemade pecan, cherry, coconut, cherry cheese, and apple pie. Bring these desserts home to your grandparents, and you will be sure to impress.
Kessler Pie Company
Kessler Pie Company has pies worthy of your Thanksgiving grand finale. They have the American pie (apple), Moon Over Texas (moonshine-infused pecan pie), the Jack-O-Lantern Pie (cinnamon and pumpkin spice), Berry American (apples and cranberry pie in a nutmeg and cinnamon flaky crust), and their Thanksgiving pie (a family recipe turkey pot pie). They even offer their signature on-the-go jar, which is a mason jar stuffed with their Thanksgiving Pie. Order pick-ups are by appointment only.
Remedy
Pre-order full pies and choose between coconut cream pie made with sweet coconut cream, toasted meringue, and candied coconut flakes all held together by a crunchy crust. Or opt for their classic pecan pie nuzzled in a flaky pie crust. These pies are available now, so get to calling to ensure you score one for Thanksgiving. Bonus: If you want a slice of heaven, order their rum raisin and walnut oatmeal cream pie. The dessert is made with rum cream, golden raisin, toasted walnuts, and layered with soft baked oatmeal cookies. This pie is only available in store and by slice.
Baker’s Ribs
Ever had deep-fried pie? This year Baker’s Ribs will be frying up all the classics to spunk up the lives of pies. The menu is tentative, but will most likely include fried pumpkin, pecan, and sweet potato pies.
