 Ok, pie haters. This post is for you. 

14 November Dessert Recipes that AREN'T Pie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Acorns

These little guys are a non-negotiable November recipe around here. They're easy to make and completely, utterly delicious. 

Old-Fashioned Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

The cake itself is richly spiced with lots of cinnamon and clove. Topped with a tangy and sweet cream cheese frosting, this spice cake is comforting and nostalgic.

Pecan Cardamom Crescents

 I love pecans all year round, but I really do associate them with fall desserts. These crescent cookies are irresistible with the flavors of cardamom, cinnamon, and toasted pecans.

Cake Batter Blondie Bars

You could make these with multi-colored sprinkles, but with chocolate sprinkles (jimmies) in the batter and fall-hued sugar pearls for the topping, these blondie bars are just the ticket for fall.

Cinnamon Bread

Alright, sure. This is technically bread, but I promise you'll be reaching for a slice as dessert. Warm cinnamon makes this sweet bread a perfect November treat.

Devil's Food Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting

Chocolate cake isn't the most traditional November dessert, but salted caramel is made for cooler months. It's rich, comforting, and a more than welcome addition to a Thanksgiving dessert table.

Biscoff Brownies

Make these with Biscoff Spread or Trader Joe's Cookie Butter; just make these super pretty brownies with the spiced cookie butter swirl.

Mom's Italian Cream Cake 

One slice of this rich cake will have you wishing you'd worn your stretchy pants to dinner. Good thing we all have them at the ready for Thanksgiving.

Perfect Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust

It's creamy, it's luscious, it's fluffy. This cheesecake is rich without being too heavy. It's sweet but not overly so. Don't want pie for Thanksgiving dessert - make this.

Spiced Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Pumpkin Cream Filling

These cookies are deeply chocolate with a lingering hint of spice. There are a few of you who don't care for pumpkin. Here's what you should know - these cookies are INCREDIBLE without the pumpkin cream filling, too.

Spiced Poppy Seed Cake with Almond Buttercream

This substantial poppy seed cake is made with warm spices, honey, and a little whole wheat flour. The frosting is a rich, fluffy, American buttercream flavored with almond & vanilla.  

Peanut Butter Cup Turkey Cookies

Not your typical fall decorated cookie, these turkeys have a triple-shot of peanut butter with peanut butter cups and peanut butter buttercream atop a thick peanut butter cookie. Gobble gobble.

White Texas Sheet Cake

That classic poured-on icing of a Texas sheet cake, but in this version, butter, vanilla, and toasted pecans shine.

Oatmeal Bourbon Raisin Cookies

With raisins soaked overnight in bourbon, these cookies might leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Will we be making pie this November? Yes! But I'll be making several of these recipes again, too!
