    This may not come as a surprise to any of my readers, but my favorite part of Thanksgiving is the dessert/pie. It’s so hard to narrow it down to just one kind of pie, so this year I made three pies for nine of us. My husband loves pumpkin, my daughter requested Cranberry Apple Streusel and for my mom, who loved lemon desserts I made this month’s Daring Baker’s challenge a Crostata and topped it with lemon curd.

    My mom was so pleased that I made lemon “pie” for her because “I know she loves lemon!” I miss you mom!

      Great idea to use lemon curd. And you made your mother happy, which is always nice, but especially so on Thanksgiving.

      Three pies?! They all look gorgeous, and I especially like the look of the lemon tart, with the neat lattice on the top. The extra love you put into that tart is evident, and so deserved.
