Apricot biscotti (from Mayo Clinic cookbook). It is perfection.

To have with coffee after the TG meal.

The Edwards Chocolate Creme pie (frozen) is literally such a delight to the taste buds....Everyone who tastes it loves it.

Cherry pie is summer/4th of July.

And canned pie filling is not good.

Seven-Layer Cookies:

Spread in 9 x 13 pan:
1. 1 stick melted margarine
2. 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3. 1 pkg. (12 oz) chocolate chips
4. 1 pkg. (12 oz) butterscotch chips
5. 1 cup coconut
6. 1 cup chopped walnuts
7. 1 can sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand) (14 oz)
Bake at 350 degrees F 25-30 minutes (until top starts to turn golden). Cut into squares. Cool and chill.

I feel like butterscotch and the kind of texture that comes with the coconut and nuts in this recipe has been very "out" for lack of a better way to put it for a while now.

I like these cranberry shortbread bars. Pretty easy to make, and the tartness of the cranberries balances out the sweetness in other desserts: https://theviewfromgreatisland.com/minimal-monday-fresh-cranberry-bars/

I would 100% eat a cherry pie over pretty much anything other than an apple pie. And honestly? Don't give a shit that it's not a "traditional" Thanksgiving pie.

My grandmother used to can and it was always a treat to eat what she had put up, far better than anything from a store. Iโ€™ll bet your cherry pie will be the star of the show and your family is very fortunate to get to enjoy it.

And frozen fruit is fine to avoid peeling/slicing

Blasphemy! That's an early summer, not Thanksgiving, food.
Agree that fruit crisps are very easy. You could do apple cranberry if you wanted to be festive: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/41893/apple-cranberry-crisp/
Pecan pies are also pretty easy, especially if you don't make the crust yourself.

Not for us! It's always around for a winter holiday meal or two. I suppose because the red cherries and white whipping cream look so festive.

Go to Costco and get a giant pie. Done.
