10 perfect pies for fall

Pie holds a special place in our hearts all year long, but if there ever was a month for pies to shine, November would be it. We may have nearly four weeks to daydream about which ones will make it to the table on Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean we can't do a few trial runs along the way. We think it's completely reasonable to practice on as many pies as possible — those apples aren't going to cook themselves into a warm, buttery crust, after all. Whether you stick with the classics or experiment with something new, grab a fork and dig in: It's time for pie.
