I mix my fillings on Monday, cover and refrigerate well then I bake the pies on Wednesday night. By making the fillings a day or so early, the flavors get to really blend and the pies taste oh so good! :)

I wouldn't make them more than a day ahead...crust tends to sog out. You can't freeze the pumpkin custard, but you could assemble the apple pie, wrap it well and freeze it unbaked for a few weeks, then just pop it still frozen into the oven about 45 minutes to an hour before you want to serve it.

I make my pies the day before Thanksgiving and then keep them in a cool room. This year I'm making pecan pies, a chocolate chip chess pie, and two pumpkin pies. I also make the deviled eggs the day before. I boil a chicken for the broth and bake my skillets of cornbread two days before Thanksgiving. I dice my onions and celery and put it in a baggie. I crumble the cornbread and a few slices of white bread to dry. Then the day before Thanksgiving, I make my dressing and refrigerate it overnight before baking it. I also make my coconut cake a day before Thanksgiving. I don't like to have so much to do at the last minute that I don't get to enjoy my family.

I make my pies the evening before Thanksgiving. The house smells so good.

At my house about 20 minutes before Thanksgiving dinner is about as advance as you can make it.

Depends. If you freeze them - up to a week ahead. If you have willpower and can keep from cutting into them early - 2-3 days ahead if they are wrapped well and stored in the frig.... We make ours the night before...

The best time is to either make it the day before or the day of.

You can make it weeks in advance - just wrap it in aluminum foil sealing it tightly and freeze it - remove from freezer several hours before to defrost and reheat in oven....
