Move Over Turkey, There's Always Room for Pie!

Turkey day is lurking just around the corner. Shopping baskets are filled with yams, cranberries, potatoes, and of course, the big bird himself. But have you remembered to order arguably the jewel of the table, your holiday pie?! Have no fear, we've assembled a list of some of the best places in Cortland County to find your pie for the big feast.

Have we somehow overlooked a best-kept secret Cortland County pie maker? Spill the tea and email us at info@experiencecortland.com so we can share the sweet news.

Have you even experienced pumpkin pie if you haven't tried Hollenbecks Cider Mill's signature pumpkin pie? Seriously. We assure you, it's like nothing you've ever had before. That being said, if you'd like one of these masterpieces to grace your table, be sure to place your order by November 23, and while you're there, you might as well order some of their delicious dinner rolls.

Poole's Drive In is dishing up a real holiday classic! According to the oxford dictionary, mincemeat is a mixture of currants, raisins, sugar, apples, candied citrus peel, and spices, typically baked in a pie. Popular during medieval England, this customary Christmas pie is coming back into fashion, and Poole's Drive-In might be one of the few places where you can experience this historical delicacy.  If you want to impress your guest with this uniquely delicious pie, place your order by calling (607) 753-1912.

The best thing about pie? There is a flavor for everyone. For you non-traditionalists out there, think outside the crust and order a peanut butter pie from Frosted Bakery. Creamy peanut butter, decadent chocolate ganache, whipped peanut butter mouse, and fresh whipped cream, all layered in a gram cracker crust, smothered in chocolate and peanut butter drizzle, takes Thanksgiving pie to a whole new level. If you have a passion for peanut butter, be sure to place your order by November 22nd. 

When it comes to pies, are there any as beloved as the classic apple pie? The Exchange Bakery's take on this all-American dish will leave you swooning. Hand rolled flakey, buttery crust is stuffed chockablock full of local apples, perfectly seasoned with cinnamon spice and everything nice. Don't miss out on this culinary classic, get your order in by November 22nd.

Is the thought of Thanksgiving with the family got you feeling a little nutty? Embrace it! Make a statement with a gorgeous pecan pie from Anderson's Farm Market. The delightful, sticky, crunchy delicacy will quickly silence the argument of whether it's pronounced pe-CAN or puh-KAHN and fill the room with contented mmms and ahhs instead. While this pecan pie can't promise world peace, I can promise you to need to order it by November 23rd if you want to give it a try.
