While a lot of us are looking forward to turkey and stuffing on Thursday, many of us can’t wait until the end of the meal for all those delicious holiday desserts. Of course for many that will include some sort of pie, and there’s one pie that’s likely to be on most people’s tables.
According to a poll by Delta Dental, Pumpkin Pie is the by far America’s favorite Thanksgiving pie, a choice of 36% of people. It’s so popular that more than twice the amount of people chose pumpkin over its nearest competitor, Pecan Pie (17%). As for the other pies, they rank in popularity as follows:
- Apple Pie (14%)
- Sweet Potato Pie (10%)
- Chocolate Pie (9%)
- Lemon Meringue Pie (4%)
- Cherry Pie (3%)
- Blueberry Pie (3%)
- Strawberry Pie (2%)
- Other (2%)
Older adults seem to favor Pumpkin Pie the most (41%), and while it’s still Gen-Xers’ favorite, it does find the least support in that generation, with only 28% saying it’s their favorite. Geographically, the West is the most likely to pick pumpkin as their top choice (44%), while the South is the least likely to say it's their fave (31%).
