The pie’s not the only thing with layers.
And somehow… she still holds it together.
—
They wanted a perfect fall gathering—just once.
So they planned, prepped, and poured their entire Pinterest-loving soul into it. Hand-folded napkins. A playlist that said “cozy and emotionally well-adjusted.” Every detail curated for a conflict-free Thanksgiving.
But families don’t run on cinnamon and sweet potatoes.
They run on drama.
And decades of unresolved tension.
By the time the second side dish hits the table, the passive-aggressive comments are already rolling in like gravy on the good tablecloth. Smiles tighten. Wine pours faster than conversation.
So when the moment inevitably arrives—there’s only one thing left to do:
Bring out the damn pie.
Golden, spiced, and unapologetically over-the-top, it lands on the table like a peace treaty wrapped in a lattice crust. The room gets quiet. Someone mutters an apology with their mouth full.
It’s not a resolution.
But it’s a pause.
A bite that says: We’ll deal with this… later.
Crust Issues captures that exact feeling—pumpkin spice laced with tension, vanilla sweetness trying to hold it all together, and a warm pie crust finish that smells like hope (or at least emotional carb-loading).
Because sometimes the only thing holding the family together is a flaky dessert…
and the person who baked it—again.
