My great grandparents used to run a motel in Kona, Hawaii famous for it’s Macadamia Nut Pie, so one year, my husband found a recipe for that and tried it out. It’s now one of our go-to pies for the holidays. Delicious. (my all time favorite pie is Cherry though)

Agreed that Thanksgiving is about pieS, plural. I can’t imagine people being territorial about their one pie.
I’m making my pecan pie, which is a mashup of two Cook’s Illustrated recipes. It’s one of those foods that makes you appreciate what a long list of fussy steps can deliver - really more than the sum of its parts. (If I do say so myself.)
I’m also throwing together a Libby’s pumpkin pie in a prefab graham cracker crust, because no matter what, one wants some pumpkin pie at the Thanksgiving feast.
I’m keen to tinker with John Scalzi’s Schadenfreude pie. The one time I made it, it had potential, but was far too gloppy. It needs a nudge toward the custard end of the spectrum.
So, you have the Turkey Pie, to get that out of the way. Then you can have a nice pineapple-carrot cake with orange peel frosting topped with crushed walnuts. Or, if you cannot get that, you could settle for a decent tiramisu.
This afternoon I made a pumpkin pie at work and noticed that we had a bag of whole pecan halves. I thought about covering the top of the pie with them, but I wasn’t entirely sure they would go with the pumpkin or if everybody liked them (though who doesn’t like pecans?), so I spaced them out a bit instead with two or three to a slice.
They were delicious. Next time I make a pumpkin pie, it’s getting a full layer of pecans on top. And I suspect every time after that too.
ETA: looking at your recipe, I see there is a difference between a pumpkin pecan pie and a pecan pumpkin pie. I may have to try both and see which one is best. The things I do for this board!
Sadly, I peeled and cut too many apples this year. By a happy coincidence, I had a little extra dough for my pie crust. Although the pie is baked and waiting for tomorrow’s meal, I was able to make an extra tart to eat this evening.
For quality control, of course.
I love them all, provided they are properly executed. I usually do Derby pie, but this year I wanted to try something different. So it’s bourbon-macerated cherry pie with a chocolate crust. I’ve never made a cherry pie, so I’m kind of winging it. We’ll see how it comes out. And I’m making homemade vanilla bean ice cream, too.
If I don’t run out of steam after making that, and baking the bread, and the veggie sides, I may make a Derby pie, too. Just one pie for six adults and a child is not likely to leave much in the way of leftovers. And that’s almost my favorite part of Thanksgiving: leftover pie for breakfast the next morning, with strong coffee.
Buttermilk pie, with pecan pie a close second.
I love all of them, but my very favorite is pineapple coconut chess pie.
I’m rooking at what you did there. 
Ya gonna do something? I don’t think you have the crust.
I want the recipe!
dammit, you guys are going to force me to watch Waitress again
It’s Thanksgiving, which means pumpkin pie.
And by pumpkin pie, I actually mean sweet potato pie, which is superior to pumpkin in every way.
Had a change of plans for Thanksgiving - we were supposed to go to my father-in-law’s; they’re too sick to host or come here, so there’s no place like home for the holidays. Even though it’s just immediate family here today, I’m contractually obligated to serve a minimum of two types of pie. My son will disown me if there’s no pecan pie after the big turkey dinner, and my daughters will pout dreadfully if forced to be thankful for a meal that doesn’t include pumpkin pie.
Personally, if I could only have one, it would have to be pecan pie - my own recipe, which is the only correct and proper one. But I made my first ever pumpkin pie today (usually, I rely on my mom or formerly, my grandmother. Because Grandmother’s recipe is the one, holy, and singular one for pumpkin pie.) But I would have a very hard time being thankful on a late-November Thursday that only included one pie.
Which one? I’ve posted Derby pie here before, and honestly, I’m not thrilled with the cherry filling - it came out too thick.
Made an orange honey yogurt pie with toasted coconut crust.
It certainly was what it promised, but wasn’t good enough that I feel like I need to make it again.
Four and twenty black birds?
Are you one of my mother’s cousins? Because my great-grandma’s recipe rocks like no other. 
I don’t understand the use of the singular in this thread. Surely, “favorite pie” should be “favorite pies”. Because after all, many pies is better than one pie.
I don’t think I have too many cousins north of, say, Memphis, but who knows? Does your granny’s pie have meringue?
