Thanksgiving isn't quite the same without a pie (or two) on the table. This year make sure everyone gets a slice by baking up one of these healthy spins on the classics. There's a recipe here whatever the dietary restriction.

It doesn't get more classic than a slice of apple pie, but how about when that slice is vegan? Still a classic, this recipe for vegan apple pie is full of spices that will remind guests of Fall, like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

A Southern tradition, sweet potato pie is similar to pumpkin pie, but with a sweeter, earthier taste. Our vegan-approved recipe for sweet potato pie replaces butter and eggs with coconut oil and cornstarch, and it's finished off with a the dollop of coconut whipped-cream frosting.

This Thanksgiving classic isn't always the healthiest option; the crust is mostly butter and white flour, and the filling is high in saturated fat. Give tradition a spin - while also saving space in the oven - with our recipe for raw, vegan, gluten-free pumpkin pie. At 302 calories a slice, it has fewer calories than a traditional slice, and offers more fiber, less cholesterol, and much less sodium.
