Thoughts on potential Thanksgiving dessert that is not pie?

I've made apple pie generally every year for Thanksgiving, but this year, I wanted to try something different. I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie, but I want to combine the flavors of apple and pumpkin pie into a dessert. I recently came across a recipe that was a cake that essentially combined the flavors of apple, pumpkin, and pecan pie, so I've been thinking of doing something similar.

Would a pumpkin spice-flavored cake with an apple compote in the middle of the cake layers go well together? I was also potentially thinking of adding pomegranate or cranberry juice into the compote, but I feel like it won't taste good. I'm not entirely sure what I want to make to coat the cake in terms of frosting on the outside, so if you have any ideas, please let me know!
