What are your favorite Thanksgiving pie recipes?

I'm a pie maker and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, my family is already dropping multiple pie hints per day. Anyone got a favorite pie recipe for the season?

    Cook some cranberries down into a sticky jam with sugar and lemon. Spread that in a thin layer over your par-baked crust before pouring your standard pumpkin filling over top.

    I am a die-hard with a vengeance rhubarb pie fan.

    Thanksgiving needs a spicy pumpkin pie pie as well.

    I've replaced it with a cookie crust in the past.

    Here are a couple of Thanksgiving pies I've made and really enjoyed:

    Sugar-and-Spice Pumpkin Pie:

    Butternut Squash-Pear-Cranberry Pie:

    The first pie is a classic, but a really excellent version of the classic pumpkin pie that's extra-creamy. The second pie is really unusual and delicious...definitely give it a try if you're looking for something different this Thanksgiving!

    Pecan is my favorite. I don't have any specific recipe except to advise everyone to never put molasses in it. I once had a Whole Foods pecan pie for Thanksgiving. Either they were trying to be "healthy" (the fuckheads) or some inexperienced employee in the bakery got the molasses and dark corn syrup confused. It was the worst pie of any flavor I've ever had.

    mmm...piiiiiiieeeee!

    I want some pie!

    Grasshopper pie
    Pumpkin pie
    Key Lime pie
    Apple pie
    Chocolate pie
    Blackberry pie
    Marionberry pie
    Strawberry pie
    Mud pie (oy vey)

    is cheesecake a cake or a pie? it looks like a pie...
    ......

    the only ones I can think that I don't like are:
    rhubarb pie
    mince meat pie
    pecan pie
    cherry pie

    I don't really have any recipes, but I don't think you can do Thanksgiving without some yummy pumpkin pie! MMMMMM....

    Do you make your own crust and everything????
    Color me impressed if you do!
