Whether it’s your turn to host Thanksgiving or you’re in charge of bringing dessert for the festivities, baking enough pie to feed the whole family can be a lot to take on. Let some of these local bakeries do the work for you!
This little pie shop bakes made-to-order 9” pies, individual tarts by the dozen, or slab pies perfect for a party. Flavors vary from month to month, but look for flavors like heirloom apple, cinnamon chai pie, plumble crumble, and brandy caramel chocolate pecan! Just be sure to place your order at least two days before your needed pick-up date!
While Batch Bakehouse is known for everything from their breads to their croissants to their coffee cakes, their pies are especially delicious. The hand-rolled flaky crusts are topped with fruits and a streusel crumble. Choose from 9” pies or mini pies in flavors like Apple Cinnamon, Apple Cranberry, Mixed Berry, and Bourbon Pecan. Just order off of their special Thanksgiving menu (released in November) and place your order before the deadline!
Once again, a local bakery shines in all things baked goods, like cream puffs, layer cakes, pastries and breads, which can all be ordered year-round by emailing honeybeecollective@gmail.com. This Thanksgiving, though, you’re going to want to try their fruit pies or tarts, in flavors like cherry, blueberry and apple!
