Rich, buttery, and oh-so-simple, the classic pecan pie has earned its place as a Thanksgiving mainstay. It's also a wonderful choice to make ahead of time since it will need several hours to cool before serving. Dollop with freshly whipped and barely sweetened cream to balance out the bold sweetness of this pie.

The Finishing Touch: Pie Crust Wash

The Finishing Touch: Pie Crust Wash
This simple technique helps you get a perfect, golden brown pastry crust every time.
Five-Spice Pumpkin Pie with Phyllo Crust

Five-Spice Pumpkin Pie with Phyllo Crust
Try this deep-dish pumpkin pie when you need to please both traditional and modern palates at the Thanksgiving table. Adding Chinese five-spice powder to the filling may seem unorthodox, but two of its components (cinnamon and clove) can already be found in standard pumpkin-pie spice. The dramatic crust is delightfully easy to create—just brush butter onto sheets of store-bought phyllo and layer them at different angles in the pan. Finish with freshly whipped cream, and you'll have one mighty fine, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Colcannon, a classic Irish side dish of mashed potatoes mixed with chopped cabbage, adds intrigue to this otherwise traditional shepherd's pie.

Classic Cream Puffs

Martha made this recipe on episode 703 of Martha Bakes. The pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Double-Crusted Jam Tart

This easy homemade tart is inspired by our favorite toaster strudels from childhood. And though it may look fancy and quite advanced, it's really just jam spooned between two layers of rolled-out crust. It's also endlessly variable: Any fruit or flavor goes, but we love this recipe for homemade peach jam.

Cottage Pie

Rating: 3.75 stars

A traditional cottage pie is made with ground beef and topped with mashed potatoes. We used potato slices, which saves time and looks good, too. For a shepherd's pie, use lamb. Or, try a turkey twist: Add 2 cups finely minced turkey meat along with the peas.
