Looking for a new dessert to spice up the family Thanksgiving? Tired of the same old pumpkin pie every year? Firecakes Donuts has you covered.

They've invented a new pumpkin pie donut and they're available for Thanksgiving pre-order. This is no fake "pumpkin spice" donut, either. The donut itself is made with local pumpkin puree and spices then dusted with sugar. Inside the ring is a generous swirl of pumpkin pie filling, for the custard lovers in your family. The whole thing is topped with candied pecans.

The donut goes for $2.97. Order a dozen for pickup Wednesday and all of your Thanksgiving pie needs will be taken care of before the big day.
