Thanksgiving Desserts include more than just pumpkin pie! Although, that quintessential pie is amazing we love to mix it up with other pies like Pecan Pie or Apple Pie. If you don’t like pie at all, then make a delicious and easy Pumpkin Angel Food Cake, Earthquake Pumpkin Cake, or one of the other quick and easy desserts listed below.

Easy Thanksgiving Desserts!
Thanksgiving is a holiday all about food in my opinion! Sure, we love the Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing and everything that goes with it, but make sure you save room for thanksgiving desserts.
After the main event it’s time to break out the desserts. Even though pies are amazing, make sure your dessert table is filled with more than just that!
Even if you go overboard on the main meal, you can set out a table filled with desserts so your friends and family can help themselves through out the day.
All the Thanksgiving dessert recipes included here are quick and easy so anyone can make them and bring them to parties or that you can place onto your sweets table for when you are hosting.
