Pie holds a special place in our hearts all year long, but if there ever was a month for pies to shine, November would be it. We may have nearly three weeks to daydream about which ones will make it to the table on Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean we can't do a few trial runs along the way. We think it's completely reasonable to practice on as many pies as possible—those apples aren't going to cook themselves into a warm, buttery crust, after all. Whether you stick with the classics or experiment with something new, grab a fork and dig in: It's time for pie.

And then I'll be making a non-dairy version of Hillary Pollak's Bourbon Pumpkin Pie, https://food52.com/recipes/31635-bourbon-pumpkin-pie , using coconut milk and homemade ginger snaps.
The mixed apple and masala pear pies linked above both look so enticing, however, that I'll probably make one of each of those for other desserts -- and those all-important pie breakfasts -- over the holiday weekend. I'll turn the pear one into a galette, however, because my family greatly prefers a high filling to crust ratio. ;o)
