What would Thanksgiving be without flaky, delicious pies? This class teaches you everything you need to know to craft glorious pies perfect for fall as well as the holiday table.

Choose from: classic pumpkin pie; apple-cranberry crumb; Southern pecan pie; and chess pie.
These desserts are perfect for winter, not just because of their wintry flavors of ginger, peppermint and more, but because of their clever use of fruits that are easily available in winter.
