Along Route 60 in western New Mexico, there's a tiny slice of land called Pie Town, and the place has more pies than it has people to eat them: three pie shops for a population of just 186. The town got its name in the 1920s when a local bakery started peddling pies to cowboys passing through. Today road-trippers and hikers from the Continental Divide still stop by for a slice. Pie Town probably isn't on your route to Thanksgiving dinner, but we asked each of the shop owners to share their most popular holiday recipe so you could try one at home.
