11 Of The Best Pies To Mail Order For Thanksgiving

Prepping for Thanksgiving dinner is an all day affair. And here’s a little known fact: the holiday actually begins the moment you pad into the kitchen in your fuzzy slippers with a mug of coffee and begin chopping onions and sage for the cornbread stuffing. But while cooking is half the fun, when it comes to dessert there are plenty of reasons to leave the pie to the pros. Luckily, you can order some of the best pies from top bakeries across the country and have them shipped directly to your door in time for dinner.

From the classics like creamy pumpkin and gooey pecan, to genre benders like a chocolate chip cookie pie and a wreath-shaped babka pie, these five sweet treats are just a handful of the best in show. Spend your cooking energy perfecting your gravy game. Then, when dessert rolls around, simply dollop the pies with whipped cream and get ready to wow your tablemates.

Best Apple Pie: Salted Caramel Apple Pie, Four & Twenty Blackbirds

The salted caramel apple pie from this beloved Brooklyn-based pie shop routinely makes best-of lists—and for good reason. The apple filling is swirled with salted caramel and flavored with both spices and Angostura bitters for a pie that’s at once comfortingly familiar and delightfully boundary pushing. The flaky, all-butter crust is finished with demerara sugar for a hint of sweetness and crunch in every slice.

Best Novelty Pie: Babka Pie, Breads Bakery

Fans of Breads Bakery’s iconic Nutella and chocolate chip babka can now enjoy their favorite treat in pie form. The braided loaf is spiraled into a wreath and set inside a buttery pie crust. The dessert can be sliced and served, but is most delicious pulled off in rich chocolatey chunks. And while it isn’t technically a pie in its most traditional form, it proves that some traditions are worth breaking.
