Simple and Easy Thanksgiving Desserts

Thanksgiving Day is about giving thanks for all that we have and gathering together with family and friends. Preparing some easy desserts will give you more time to spend with loved ones. These delicious 25+ Simple and Easy Thanksgiving Desserts are perfect for saving you a lot of time and effort.

Any pie can be simplified if you buy a store-bought pie crust. I love having a couple of pie options that the younger kids can make by themselves for Thanksgiving like Easy No-bake Banana Cream Pie and Easy Eclair Pie. Both can be made ahead and with a store-bought pie crust.

If you need to feed a crowd, substitute your traditional pumpkin pie for this Easy Pumpkin Slab Pie. Lighten the load this year by letting your desserts be easy, and make one, two, or more on this list.
