Voted as the best holiday pie, the pumpkin pie is a must have during the holiday season. There are plenty of places where you can get a traditional pumpkin pie, such as the Grand Traverse Pie Company, Home Bakery, and Apple Annie’s. If you’re looking for a pumpkin pie that’s outside the box, check out Sister Pie’s Pumpkin Chocolate Chip pie. Combining the sweetness of chocolate with the saltiness of pumpkin, the pie is a tasty twist on the classic dessert.
Sweet potato pies are, well, sweet.
