Junior Alexa Waheed shares her favorite idea for a fun fall treat.

“My favorite dessert for Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie and extra whip cream because it tops off the perfect Thanksgiving dinner and even if you’re full, you always have room for pumpkin pie,” said Waheed.

Whether it’s apple fritters or pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving is sure to be especially sweet this season.
