We don't have Thanksgiving (*surprise*), but we have a special holiday, which is October 9 in my parents' village. My mom always makes an apple pie, which is different than mine and yours, I'm sure.
It's crusty and has apple, wallnut and halva (special Turkish sweet). She makes it on purpose to make me come to this holiday, she knows I LOVE it.

There are some other Moldovan dishes that I cannot make as good as hers, so she brings them if she comes for holidays
