According to department stores, it's Christmas time, but let's not rush through November or skip over Thanksgiving. Although the holiday was formed to honor the harvest on stolen land, celebrations today mostly surround gathering around a feast.

Instead of remembering the pilgrims, let's make memories of pie! Here are 11 pie recipes that will warm you up, if the temperature this November finally drops.

1. Apple Hand Pies ( AKA Apple Turnovers)

Who wouldn't love hand-held pies?

2. Pecan Pie

This chef is known for his handy one-pot style; if you follow his directions, it'll be the easiest cleanup a pie has ever seen.

3. Banana Cream Pie Cheesecake

This recipe might count more as a cheesecake than a pie, but it's technically both! It comes to us from the same chef as the video above. Their YouTube channel consists of glorious recipes--pie, especially--but there are other gems you should check out as well!

4. Lemon Meringue Pie

This pie looks light and fluffy, and perhaps not a usual go-to for Thanksgiving. It might seem more of a summer pie than fall, but this tangy dessert has the balance you need between sweet and refreshing after a huge meal.

5. Easiest Pumpkin Pie Ever

According to the video, 100 or so recipes were tried before finding this one--the easiest of them all, apparently.

6. Mini Pumpkin Pie Bites

Because personal pie bites are not the same as having a slice of pie. As mentioned in the video, this crust tastes more like a biscuit.

7. Crustless Cranberry Pie

This one might be a pie cheat -- it doesn't go in the oven! Watch for the easy skillet-style pie recipe. I bet you could trade the cranberries for almost any fruit and it would be delicious!

8. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

This is one of the only pie on the list--besides the apple turnover pies in number one--that has a crust on top. Lattice crusts are the staple of pies; in cartoons, it's the type most drawn.

9. Peanut Butter Pie

Here is another Chef repeat on the list. It was by far the most attractive peanut butter pie--hands down.

10. Easy Sweet Potato Pie

It looks just like pumpkin, but it's a very different taste! The consistency is similar, however.

How often do you see a chocolate pie? How about on Thanksgiving? The two should always go hand-in-hand.

Will any of the pies listed above make it on your Thanksgiving menu this year? If you don't get to as many as you want, don't worry: you can celebrate pies on national Pi Day, March 14. Any day is a day to celebrate pies.
