A Thanksgiving dinner without pie is, well, just too sad to contemplate.... No need to go pie-less with these recipes. Pumpkin pie is a perennial favorite, and there are so many ways to put a twist on it, from mini pies to ginger snap crusts, and mixing things up with pecans. Don't miss Richard Sax's Down-East Cranberry Apple Pie, which is pure New England Thanksgiving on a plate.
