Fall Mini Pie Dessert Board
Host a fall gathering with a Fall Mini Pie Dessert Board. Use fall flavored mini pies–pumpkin, pecan, apple, and sweet potato. Serve with spiced cream!
Friends, just in time for an autumn gathering, you can grab the shopping list for this Fall Mini Pie Dessert Board. You may remember my Summer Mini Pie Board a few months ago–a big party hit!
Plus at the bottom of this post, I’m sharing a few of my favorite FALL Welcome Mats for your front door! Grab the links below and get your front door decorated for Fall!
Pie dessert board
This is such a fun dessert idea for hosting! Mix up your favorite mini pies and serve with fresh whipping cream.
Think pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, and feel free to add berry pies!
Have you tried sweet potato pie?
Fall Mini Pie Dessert Board
This mini pie board is EPIC for a large gathering! Maybe it’s a harvest party, where you are in charge of desserts (you can really stack the pies high), or you’re hosting a fall dessert party!
Dessert parties are fun, and they take the stress off of having to cook the entire meal.
Will you be hosting a Halloween party or Thanksgiving this year?
Whatever kind of hosting you are doing, grab a board with a lip. This will help the food stay in one place. Especially if you are going to transport the food, it’s basically a big tray with sides on it, so the food does not slide off.
This post, How to make a Fall Cheese Board, has all the links to purchase the size of board that works best for you. I heard the 24 inch size is sold out, but the epic one is back in stock now!
My signature type of hosting is usually with a board like this, unless I’m having just a couple of friends over, and we’re grazing over small appetizers before dinner.
How to assemble a pie board
I bought these mini pies at Walmart.
Make a spiced whipped cream and set in the center of the board. You can make the board ahead and leave the space in the middle for the whipped cream. Keep whipped cream in fridge until ready to serve!
Place the mini pies around the whipped cream.
Fill in the blank areas with sliced apples and grapes.

3 favorite FALL doormats
Don’t forget to welcome your guests at the front door!
I’m in love with these four really cute doormats.
A doormat sort of sets the stage for what happens when you open the door.
It begins your hosting on the right note.
It welcomes people with a fun, happy, or beautiful tone.

28-inch Charcuterie Board
Friends, here are the boards that I LOVE. A “lip” is the secret to the best charcuterie or dinner board, because the food does not fall off. [This post has affiliate links. Every purchase from these links supports RE at no extra cost to you. Thank you!]

Rememember it says it is “not food safe,” so you need to prepare the board by either laying down parchment paper under the food, or you can “season” it like we did.
Here are a few other (affiliate) options:
Courtland Wooden Lazy Susan – 18-inch round. Buy >> HERE
LAZY SUSAN is a board that spins. It does NOT have a lip, but it’s cool for the center of the table.
Here’s an 18-inch wine barrel wood board or a 24-inch hammered large round tray or a 26-inch stainless steel serving platter that you may also like! Check out the weight on these boards.
How to season a Charcuterie Board
If a wood board says it “not food safe,” you can lightly sand it down with sand paper, and rub down with beeswax and mineral oil.
We used this butcher block and cutting board oil conditioner after we lightly sanded the board down.
Or, lay down parchment paper! Easy peasy!
Happy hosting, friends!
