It’s pie season! The holidays are here and it’s truly the most wonderful time of year. The weather is getting colder, the days are getting shorter, and all you want to do is be cozied up at home while eating all the comfort food. Believe me, I’m right there with you. I’m counting down the days until Thanksgiving, when I can eat my weight in mashed potatoes and green beans. But also, what I’m most excited about is all of the delicious pies.
There are obviously the classics: pumpkin, apple, pecan, cherry, and blueberry. And who doesn’t love the classics? They’re great! But maybe you’re looking to bake something a little different for this year. And what if you’re not baking for 15 people? Maybe you’re hosting a small Friendsgiving with three of your closest friends and you know none of you will be able to eat an entire normal-sized pie. Or you know that everyone loves different pies, and you want to do your best to accommodate.
The solution: mini pies! They’re perfect for those of us who may have filled up on too much turkey, but still want to treat ourselves to pie. Plus, the pie pans fit right in the palm of your hand and are so! cute! With this in mind, we asked our So Yummy food stylist, Sade, to wow us with her take on three of the most classic Thanksgiving pie flavors: pecan, apple, and pumpkin. These are seriously the cutest pies, and we think that even novice pie bakers can make these in a snap!
We’ve put a fun twist on the classic pecan pie — a chocolate, boozy twist! Please note: this pie is 100% okay to serve to children, since the alcohol from the bourbon burns off during the baking process, and all that’s left behind is a bold, caramel-like flavor that punctuates the chocolate crust.
Prep time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Who doesn’t love getting caramel apples from the pumpkin patch every fall? The crisp bite and tang of the Granny Smith apple covered in sweet, melted caramel sauce is seriously heaven. This mini pie is essentially a deconstructed caramel apple.

Yield: 3 mini pies (5-inch pies)
There’s nothing more classic for Thanksgiving dessert than pumpkin pie. And no, we’re not using that fake whipped cream that comes out of a can. We’ll only be garnishing our pumpkin pies with this cream cheese whipped cream from here on out.
Prep time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
Yield: 4 mini pies (5-inch pies, or 1 (9-inch) pie)
