Thanksgiving is upon us and we are all so excited for the gathering, the family, the friends, and of course the FEAST! Perhaps you are trying to think up another dessert for your guests: to accompany the pies, offer some variety and maybe also please a few non-pie fans! Or you may be tasked with bringing a dessert to Thanksgiving dinner. Well, here are some sweet, delectable desserts that will be welcome at any gathering. There are cookies, bars, sweet toppings, and even a candy.
I shared these treats with Meteorologist Amanda Lindquist at Fox Local 22/44. Click below to check out our segment, and below that are the recipes!
These sweet treats have traditional flavors you expect to find at this time of year, and maybe a few flavors you would not expect! They will be a perfect finish to your holiday celebration.

Warm Fruit Sauce Over Ice Cream: Blueberry Sauce and Simmered Apples with Cinnamon and Cardamom
Two classic Thanksgiving pie fillings are wonderful when served as warm toppings for a cool bowl of ice cream! These two fruit sauces come together quickly. The Blueberry Sauce has a velvety sweetness and the Simmered Apples are gently spiced. Try the Blueberry Sauce on a scoop of vanilla bean or caramel swirl ice creams, or over lemon sorbet. The Simmered Apples with Cinnamon and Cardamom will be amazing on vanilla, and the sauce also pairs nicely with maple walnut and butter pecan ice creams! Here are the sauce recipes:
