Thanksgiving Dishes That Make The Best Leftovers

Pie, we feel, hardly counts as a leftover. As with most baked goods, it's the kind of thing you make to be eaten over the course of a couple of days. It is just as good, if not even better, after a day or so in the fridge as it is when fresh out of the oven.

In the unlikely event that you tire of eating pie as-is, though, we do have a few suggestions as to how to transform it into a different dessert. You can easily take a page out of Dairy Queen's playbook and make a pie shake: Put a few scoops of vanilla ice cream, a splash of milk, and a slice of pumpkin, apple, or pecan pie in the blender. You will need to drink out of a boba straw since a standard straw will be way too narrow to allow those pie chunks to pass through. You can also take that pie and make it into the cutest little "piecaken" cupcakes. Just mix up some cake batter, and fill each cupcake liner 1/3 of the way with it. Add a spoonful of pie, top with more batter, and bake. Voilà! A brand new -– and very original — dessert.
