Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie…

Every year on Turkey Day, most of us sit down to those same old Thanksgiving desserts after our traditional dinner.

While I’m all for tradition, there’s nothing wrong with shaking things up a bit every now and then.  And what better way than with desserts?

These 23 dessert recipes prove that there’s a whole other world beyond just pie.  Most of them are also kid-friendly and a great way to get children involved in the kitchen!
