Thanksgiving desserts that aren’t pies

The pies are great and all, but Thanksgiving can be a little overloaded with pies. Everyone has to have a pumpkin pie, apple pie, and pecan pie, but having those same pies every year quickly gets boring.

So tune in this year with new Thanksgiving dessert recipes that will make you forget about pie.
