8 Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes 😍

Happy Sunday, bakers!

Thanksgiving is less than 3 weeks away - how is this possible?!

If you are starting to work on your Thanksgiving menu and are having a hard time narrowing down dessert recipes, I hear you! There are SO MANY delicious seasonal favorites to choose from. Be sure to save room for these Thanksgiving desserts!

Here are 8 Thanksgiving dessert recipes to make for the 23rd:

​Apple Pie​

It's not Thanksgiving without classic apple pie! This homemade pie is loaded with a variety of apples and warm spices. Don't forget the vanilla ice cream!

"After years of making mediocre pie crust I have finally made a flaky, tender, flavorful crust with this recipe. This is the best apple pie I have ever made. I used apples from our tree which are sort of sweet/tart. Not sure what kind they are but they were delish!" - Alison

​Cranberry Pound Cake with Orange Glaze​

This cranberry pound cake is wonderfully dense, moist, and loaded with fresh cranberries. Topped with a simple orange glaze, it's perfect for the holidays.

"I've been making this cake for special occasions or a weekend treat for years and it always turns out fabulously. I use whole, fresh cranberries and they pop with each warm bite. I'm making it again tonight for a Thanksgiving meal at my husband's office tomorrow and I'm excited to present it." - Crystal

​Homemade Sweet Potato Pie​

This sweet potato pie is made with fresh sweet potatoes, subtly spiced, has a layer of brown sugar baked onto the crust, and gets a little kick from bourbon. All you need is a dollop of whipped cream!

"So good! Made this recipe for Thanksgiving and I am baking one for Christmas as I type. The combination of vanilla, bourbon, molasses, and brown sugar is delicious." - Rebecca

​Classic Pumpkin Roll​

I remember my aunt bringing a pumpkin roll to my grandma's nearly every single year for Thanksgiving. I love the pumpkin flavor in cake form and, OF COURSE, cream cheese frosting!

"Oh my goodness! Can I give you a giant virtual hug? I am 72 yo and you have made my pumpkin roll life better! Soooo easy! No freaking out when trying to flip that hot cake!!! Thank you so much. I've been following you since the beginning and always learning something new…. yes you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!" - Cathy

​Turkey Cupcakes​

If you're looking for a baking project to do with kids, these turkey cupcakes are perfect! Chocolate cupcakes, frosting, Oreos, peanut butter cups, candy corn, and Whoppers are transformed into *gobble gobble* turkeys.

"I made these last year and came out so cute! LOVE IT!!!! Thanks :)" - Sarah

​Perfect Pecan Pie​

Pecan pie will forever be my top two or three favorite pies of all-time. I will always, always, always choose a slice of pecan pie over pumpkin pie. Gooey, nutty, and perfectly balanced between salty and sweet, this easy pecan pie recipe is my absolute favorite version and a must-make holiday dessert!

"Best pecan pie I've ever made! Followed directions exactly except used a whole wheat crust. It was soooo good. Made it the day before Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Thanks for this amazing recipe. Will definitely make again." - Camille

​Pumpkin Cheesecake​

One of the ultimate pumpkin desserts! Creamy pumpkin cheesecake meets cozy fall spices for an incredible Thanksgiving dessert.

"I have been making this recipe since 2013. I was in search of a holiday recipe the celebrated the season with excitement and deviated from the norm. It instantly became a crowd pleaser. I love this recipe for so many reasons, but especially for how creamy and indulgent it is and the caramelized crust created by the ginger snap crust. This recipe would not be complete without the crust, I definitely would not swap it out or change it." - Angie

​Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips & Pecans​

A sliced loaf of this pumpkin bread would go so nicely with your favorite pies. Save the recipe and bake up some mini loaves for Christmas gifts!

"So delicious and warming. I've made this twice in a week. The first time I used two loaf pans and a large ramekin. This time I decided on three loaf pans and they are still large delicious loaves. My church enjoyed it and the latest are for neighbors. Thank you!" - Gwyn
