Start strong, end sweet: Thanksgiving apps & desserts ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฅง

Published 10 months agoย โ€ขย 1 min read

Appetizers and desserts are a critical part of the Thanksgiving meal that can sometimes get overlooked or saved for the last minute. Use this list of appetizers and desserts to add something exciting to your menu beyond the typical pies.

I love to start with a charcuterie board so guests can pick at it as they arrive. If you are traveling with your app, this charcuterie board with lid is great for taking it on the go or prepping ahead of time.

Easy, make-ahead bites and desserts that make the whole meal feel special.

Stuffed Mushroom Dip

Mix the ingredients, bake in the oven and use some toasted baguette or veggies to dip!

Whipped Goat Cheese Dip

Whip goat cheese until creamy then add sweet or savory toppings.

Easy Pumpkin Cake

Made with yellow cake mix! Simplify the baking process with a boxed cake mix, canned pumpkin, eggs, milk and pumpkin pie spice.

Pumpkin Pie Bars

These taste just like a pumpkin pie, but are so much easier to make. They have a simple graham cracker crust instead of a standard pie crust.

Fall Charcuterie Board

Combine sweet and savory ingredients to make the perfect fall cheese board.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

the perfect party appetizer or snack. Just wrap asparagus in a piece of prosciutto and bake!

Pecan Pie Brownies

The perfect combination of soft, chewy brownie and pecan pie filling for a delicious dessert. Add some chocolate to your fall dessert menu with this simple recipe.

Easy Apple Tart

Make a simple puff pastry apple tart and serve it with ice cream and more caramel.
