Dinner without dessert is like a foreign movie without subtitles—you can digest both, but you'll probably miss out on the good parts. Fast-forward to tasty endings with today's Groupon: for $27, you get two 9-inch pumpkin, apple, or sweet-potato pies at Our Daily Bread Market in Summerville (a $55 value). Guests can opt for two different pies or two of the same flavor.

Our Daily Bread Market's lauded pastry chef, Keith Chinn, served as a member of the 2001 National Pastry Championship Team and combines his sweets savvy with fresh ingredients and top-secret recipes to craft delicious home-cooked pies fit for any windowsill. Coiling cartoon aromas ascend from each pumpkin, apple, and sweet-potato round, which are made-to-order with the arrival of each guest’s phone order or lavender-scented telegraph. Two pounds of fresh granny-smith apples anchor the apple pie’s flaky crust, melding with mounds of raisins and brown sugar beneath a crumbly streusel crown. An age-old southern favorite enhanced by Keith’s special recipe, the sweet-potato pie encases taste buds in a sweet buttery shroud, and homemade pumpkin pies crush appetites inflamed by the harvest moon’s knack for hovering ominously over dessert tables.
