The oven beeps, you open it  to the smell of warmth on hints of cinnamon as a mist of smoke fills the air. You look down at a perfectly golden pie crust. When the pie is cooled, you slice it open to find the gooey goodness of warm soft apples. Your mouth starts to water and you think: is there anything more perfect than a freshly baked apple pie? 

Apple pie is hands down the best pie flavor. Pumpkin already takes over every food the moment the air outside starts to hint at fall weather, but there’s one thing it can’t have and that is pie. The taste of the soft warm apples mixed with the flaky baked pie crust is a combination that beats pumpkin pie any day. 

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s time to acknowledge the near perfection of apple pie. After eating a big meal, there is barely any room for desert by the end of it. When faced with a wide variety of desserts to pick from, apple pie should always be at the top choice. There is no other way to finish a Thanksgiving meal. From the warmth, flavor, and texture, it overtakes that boring piece of pumpkin pie you thought about eating. 

Nothing could ever beat apple pie. You might even say it is the best pie flavor out there. And topped with vanilla ice cream, it might even be considered the best dessert. Take that pumpkin pie!
