No Thanksgiving is complete without a tasty pie. From the classic cherry and pecan pies to vegan desserts, Bastrop County businesses have several savory offerings for the holiday:

Classic Cherry Pie from Johnson’s Bakery: Jennifer Johnson says people ask her all the time, "What’s the secret to your delicious cherry pie?" Her answer is simple: a handcrafted recipe and fresh ingredients. From her bakery on Old Austin Highway in Bastrop, Johnson sells pies, cakes and fresh pastries that run the gamut. This Thanksgiving, she calls her cherry and apple pies the top sellers. Made with green, Granny Smith apples, Johnson’s apple pie has the perfect blend of sugar and spice. And the cherry pie never comes with store-bought filling, she said. It’s baked with real cherries and wrapped in a flaky, hand-rolled crust. The store also sells the classic mincemeat pie, which comes baked with spiced apples, raisins and currants. Two years ago, Johnson and her husband opened their Bastrop bakery. On Nov. 19, they’ll host an anniversary celebration at the store, complete with free samples and prizes. The last day to order a Thanksgiving pie is Nov. 21.

Chocolate Cream Pie from Maxine’s Cafe: Maxine’s on Main was voted one of the Top 40 best cafes in the state by Texas Monthly magazine – and part of the reason is its fresh-baked pies. Hands down, it votes its chocolate cream pie the best in the house, bakery chef Mikyla Atkinson-Guerrero said. "Everyone loves chocolate," she said. A close second is the coconut cream pie. Both are crafted with scratch-made pastry cream and real ingredients, never the store-bought stuff. In the mood for something special? Atkinson-Guerrero recommends her new eggnog cheesecake, lined with ginger cookie crust and drizzled with dulce de leche. She said, in total, she’ll bake about 400 pies this Thanksgiving from her Maxine’s shop on Chestnut Street, which in January is expected to relocate to downtown Bastrop, next to the flagship restaurant.

Pecan Pie from Berdoll Pecan Candy & Gift Co.: The Berdoll Pecan Candy & Gift Co. began 36 years ago as a small pecan stand three miles in from the highway. Now, it’s an expansive operation on Texas 71 that pushes out around 300 pecan pies a day during the holiday season – online, in store and from a vending machine outside. If you’re craving a sweet treat, you can drive by and pick up a pie at all hours of the night. They’re available in regular, chocolate and sugar free flavors, made with the highest quality Pawnee pecans from an orchard nearby the store, owner Jennifer Berdoll Wammack said. The delicacies are handmade in a red barn adjacent to the store, in addition to the chocolate dipped and sugary sweet pecans. (2626 Texas 71, Cedar Creek, Texas, 512-303-6157)

Vegan Chocolate Pecan Pie from Tough Cookie Bakery: Jennie and Chris McEwan opened the doors of Tough Cookie Bakery in downtown Bastrop in August, cornering the market in the region on vegan, gluten-free and paleo breads and desserts. And the holiday season is no exception. They’ll be serving up some of the best vegan and vegetarian treats for Thanksgiving, including pumpkin, blueberry and pecan pies to meet any dietary restriction. And don’t despair — you won’t lose out in the flavor. The McEwan’s chocolate pecan pie is baked with organic white flour, vegan butter, rich, melted chocolate chips, molasses and fresh pecans. The last day to order a Thanksgiving pie is Nov. 18, but they’ll have slices in house through the week. (601 Chestnut St. Suite D, Bastrop, 512-629-6936)

Pumpkin Pie from the Olde World Bakery & Café: The Olde World Bakery & Café in Smithville opened its doors in 2013, serving breakfast, fresh breads and baked goods. In May, Cammy Snyder, a custom cake baker from Houston, took ownership of the Main Street destination, adding her own tweaks to the restaurant’s home-cooked menu. This Thanksgiving, she’s serving up seasonal pies, including peach with streusel topping blueberry, pumpkin and pecan cooked the "old school" way, Snyder said. "The kind of stuff your grandma would make," she said. All the pies are made to order from scratch and come in full and mini sizes. The bakery is closed Sundays but will be taking orders up to the week of Thanksgiving. (112 Main St., Smithville, 512-237-5659)
