The 9 Most Popular Thanksgiving Pies Pie Chart [INFOGRAPHIC]

(click through for hi-res)

Here’s a confession: I’m not a huge fan of turkey. Not a huge fan of mashed potatoes or cranberries or buttered things, either. What I do love – and I mean love – about Thanksgiving, though, is the dessert.

Keep your oversized birds and your baby food side dishes. Sit me down with a hot, hunking piece of apple pie a la mode and I’m set for the winter.

Here’s a look at the top 9 pie types Americans are eating this Thanksgiving:

  1. Apple – 20%
  2. Strawberry – 19%
  3. Pumpkin – 16%
  4. Cherry – 13%
  5. Blueberry – 9%
  6. Pecan – 8%
  7. Lemon Meringue – 8%
  8. Chocolate – 5%
  9. Chess – 2%

And a few extra pie facts for good measure:

  • Apparently, the first pies were filled with meat and called coffins, which could either be a total misnomer or completely accurate (probably both).
  • Mini, sliced and half pies make up 24 percent of pies bought. Yay portion control.
  • Recent growths in popularity for blueberry and cherry pies can be attributed to the public’s desire for antioxidants. Because nothing screams “healthy” like your third slice of blueberry pie.
  • Pies are slowly starting to challenge cupcakes for title of “trendiest dessert.”
