Thanksgiving is going to look a lot different this year. The CDC’s recommendations this Thanksgiving include avoiding travel and large gatherings, but there are still many ways to celebrate without putting yourself or others at risk...and as always, Amazon’s Alexa is here to help!

Are you all pumpkin-ed out yet? No? Good! Because I have one more treat you need to bake before we move on to the holiday season. This recipe is a bit of a hybrid between a mini galette and a Danish pastry (which have the centre filled with custard), the result is a crunchy buttery tart with a creamy pumpkin center, topped with a drunken apple — seriously good!

Whether you’re hosting a sit-down Thanksgiving or a Friendsgiving buffet this year, these recipes give our favorite dishes a modern twist. On the menu: a boozy cheese board (yes, it’s a thing), an unexpected salad, a next-level turkey and ombré pears (also a thing).

Combined with Amaro Montenegro (which is an Italian sweet, herbal liqueur), fresh citrus, and some great fall flavors, this festive recipe is the crowd pleaser you’ve been looking for.
