How to downsize your pies: Mini pies for a scaled-back Thanksgiving

What’s the one food you most look forward to at Thanksgiving?

For some it’s the turkey. For others it’s the array of sides. But for many of us bakers, let’s admit it — our thoughts skip right over the apps and main meal and go straight to dessert: pie. Apple pie. Pumpkin pie. Pecan pie and chocolate cream and sweet potato and strawberry pie. OK, someone brought a coconut cake, and there are always cookies, but pie is the main attraction of any Thanksgiving dessert spread.
