Cook's Illustrated's Foolproof Pie Dough
I made this recipe at Thanksgiving. the dough was very moist and pretty hard to work with but I rolled it out between two sheets of waxed paper which worked pretty well. It was, by far, the flakiest pie crust I've ever made! I'm sure I'll make it again.

Yum, Grand Traverse Pie Company. My sister works there and will be bringing us some type of fruit pie for thanksgiving. My mom is the pie maker in the family and will be making pumpkin and cherry pies made with Michigan cherries of course. I have been watching and helping her bake pies for years but I have a long way to go before mine taste as good.

Thanks Ed, I appreciate the update. Corner does still have the ready-to-bake Apple pie, in case care to try it. I have only had cupcakes and chocolate cake from the new location, and they were pretty good.

A Yura's update for Foodboy and everyone else. Yura is no longer making a ready to bake pie. It's very disappointing, but her fully baked apple pie is really good. I will miss that perfumed apple smell. Foodboy wanted to know about the Yura-partner split. I spoke to Yura and she said that she was only associated with the store at 92nd and Madison. I would stick to that location if possible. I haven't had anything at the 92nd and Third Ave. former Yura location, now called Corner, so I can't vouch for its food.

I'm so glad someone else feels paralyzed by dessert indecision! My friends laughed at me when I mentioned lying awake at night thinking about what desserts to serve, but as a passionate baker it's the one time of year where people don't demure when you offer them something full of sugar and butter.
So of course I want to take that opportunity to show off, but I feel like most people balk at a thanksgiving with non-traditional fare. And since I'm not wealthy enough to serve traditional and non, here's what I went with:
traditional pumpkin
apple tart
pecan (someone's bringing it - pecans aren't cheap in NYC!)
brownies
Along with heaping bowls of plain whipped cream and bourbon spiked whipped cream, of course.

You do have the right number of pies, thank heavens. As one against coconut in general, I'd replace coconut custard with plain custard. Cherry-peach is an intriguing combination.

We used to get/make a good mix when I was younger.
Pumpkin, Mince, Pecan, Coconut Custard, Apple, and a Ricotta cheese pie.
In the last decade we picked them up at Linvilla Orchards (Media PA) which is famous for the pies. http://www.linvilla.com/pdfs/bakery_menu.pdf
The Very Berry was a big hit.

We used to always go to my Aunt Ginny's for T'Giving. She had an extensive pie repertoire, but on this holiday it was always a choice of pumpkin, mincemeat or cherry.
I always had "a little piece of each?"
