When it comes to the Thanksgiving table, you need the classics: cranberry sauce, turkey, gravy, stuffing\u2014and of course, a pie for dessert. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Lucky households don&#8217;t choose just one; they offer a sampling of the fall&#8217;s best (pumpkin, apple, cherry, and sweet potato). But not everyone has the time\u2014or oven space\u2014to bake up as many pies as they want. Thanksgiving food decisions are the ultimate Sophie&#8217;s choice: canned or fresh cranberry sauce? Stuffing with sausage or without? Pumpkin pie or apple pie? The options are truly endless.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">While whittling down your menu may feel daunting, there&#8217;s no arguing with the facts: a single fall pie reigns supreme at the Thanksgiving table.

By the mid-19th century, abolitionist Sarah Josepha Hale helped cement the tradition by depicting a Thanksgiving scene piled high with pumpkin pie in a popular novel. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The rest is sweet (and spiced) history. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\">\n<div data-theme-key=\"carousel-container\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" role=\"region\" aria-live=\"off\" aria-labelledby=\"PP0-16-0\" class=\"css-vzlvvm e1kgjrvy4\">\n<p><h2 id=\"PP0-16-0\" data-theme-key=\"carousel-hed\" class=\"css-4i2xvz e1kgjrvy5\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/>Get Ready For Thanksgiving<span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent Instacart data shows pumpkin pie was the most-ordered pie before Thanksgiving.
