Apple pie is made for Thanksgiving because it can be a staple as well as a relief, and it saves money.

When it comes to Thanksgiving food, many people will think of the roasted turkey with its stomach stuffed with ingredients, but besides the turkey, you can't ignore another Thanksgiving food - apple pie. The fluffy, caramelized flavor has become another expectation of Thanksgiving. Apple pie is an easy-to-make delicacy that originated in eastern Europe, but today it is a quintessentially American food.

Apple pies come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. Shapes include free-form, standard two-layer, caramel apple pie, French apple pie, crumb apple pie, sour cream apple pie, and the list goes on. In many foreign countries, apple pie is a staple food that fills the stomach and saves a lot of money, making it a very convenient food.

Similarly, apple pie is popular at the Thanksgiving table, where fresh apples are thinly sliced and tossed with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, placed in a pre-prepared crust, and baked until golden brown. Sweet and tart with a crunchy texture, apple pie is one of the classics of Thanksgiving desserts.

Traditional Thanksgiving Desserts:

1. Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is one of the most classic of Thanksgiving desserts. Fresh pumpkin is cooked, stirred with brown sugar, spices and milk, poured into a crust and baked until golden brown. Pumpkin pie has a crispy interior and flaky crust, and the sweetness of the pumpkin and the aroma of the spices go hand in hand with each other in a mouth-watering way.

2. Lemon Cake

Lemon cake is a refreshing and crisp Thanksgiving dessert option. Add lemon juice and zest to the cake batter, mix well and bake in the oven. The baked lemon cake is tart, sweet and dense, and with a cup of refreshing lemon tea, it's as if you've stepped into the summer in a lemon orchard.

3. Sweet Potato Cake Rolls

For a stunning dessert centerpiece that's easy to make, there's cake rolls. Flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg and filled with cream cheese frosting, it tastes as good as it looks. It's also a great way to use up leftover mashed sweet potatoes after Thanksgiving!

4, Pecan Pie Bars

On a busy day like Thanksgiving, something like Pecan Pie Bars is a great dessert to make ahead of time. With all the flavor of traditional pecan pie, but in a bar shape, it's much easier than worrying about curling the shell. They can be made a couple days in advance and then heated to room temperature or hotter on the day of service.
