Thanksgiving is known for having its famous turkey dinners for families to share each year. However, it is no secret that having pies for dessert is definitely the main focus on Thanksgiving Day.

Aside from the classic Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, there are many other pie choices that you should consider for the upcoming holiday.

1. Bourbon-Pecan Pie

This delicious Southern pie tastes of dark caramel, toasted nuts, and a bit of bourbon. The alcohol evaporates when you bake the pie, and when fully cooked, the pie has a gooey consistency. The scrumptious bourbon-pecan pie has an intensely sweet vanilla baseline when baked properly with both light and dark corn syrup.
