When it's made well, there's nothing like a Southern-style pecan pie.  If it's done right, it's so rich when you bite into it you just about see stars.

Second to that for me would be pumpkin pie.  I like the traditional stuff, and I'm not much of a fruit pie fan.

I am too much of a chocoholic not to vote for the chocolate pie--though pumpkin pie is a tried and true classic.

I'm actually making something this year called a "Chocolate Dream Pie" - I found the recipe in Real Simple magazine.  I'm always the only one who ever eats my pecan pie (unless my extended family is celebrating with us, and it's been a while since that was the case).

I'm just gonna try to keep it simple and roast a turkey, make homemade stuffing and homemade mashed potatoes (if only I had Jack here to peel them for me) and gravy from the turkey drippings, steam some corn, and whip up some cranberry sauce from another recipe I came across that's really easy.  Our friends we invited over are bringing a green bean casserole and the beer and I'm making that chocolate pie.  As it is, it's gonna take 3 hours for Will's mama to fix that one.

I have a terrific pumpkin pie recipe that calls for real pumpkin - it's from one of the Moosewood cookbooks and is just fabulous.  It's a real pain to make, but worth it once or twice a year. 

I'll probably still bake one, but these days it's usually just Mom and me, so I'm thinking Cracker Barrel - sounds lazy, I know, but that way I get more quality time with her - if she's feeling up for it and weather depending, we can get out in nature and just enjoy each other, not to mention much less work on my part.   ::)

Blueberry pie.

Wild Maine blueberries. Don't fall for the flavorless domesticated varieties. Tiny little purple flavor bombs, grown in the thin acidic granite soil of coastal Maine... nothing like them. Nothing can replace them.
