Love it. And the best pumpkin pie is the recipe on the label of the Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin.

It's incredible how good it is.

And it's been the same for 30+ years. I've never tasted better.

Pecan pie > Apple pie > Pumpkin Pie. I usually eat a slice of pecan and apple, and leave the pumpkin to the people who enjoy it.

Pumpkin pies are amazingly easy to make. :p

Ingredients:

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
Whipped cream (optional)


Directions:
MIX sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

POUR into pie shell.

BAKE in preheated 425° F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Top with whipped cream before serving.


NOTES:
1 3/4 teaspoons pumpkin spice may be substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves; however, the taste will be slightly different. (DO NOT USE PUMPKIN SPICE!!!)

Do not freeze, as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.

FOR 2 SHALLOW PIES: substitute two 9-inch (2-cup volume) pie shells. Bake in preheated 425° F. oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F.; bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until pies test done.

FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (3,500 to 6,000 ft.): Deep-dish pie- extend second bake time to 55 to 60 minutes. Shallow pies- no change.

Amused note:

If you're going to use a ready made crust, I strongly suggest this one:

And buy some Pyrex pie dishes. They cook the best. MUCH better than aluminum.

Do NOT buy the frozen ones already in a tin in the freezer section. They always crack and cook like sh!t.

I love pumpkin pie. The last few bites when you get equal amounts of crust & filling are my favourite.

By judging the amount of "cushion" I have around my waist, I guess I do enjoy some pumpkin pie.

From what I've seen, most people who say they dislike it have never even tried it.

Or have had horrible flavorless ones like Pumpkin Custard pies.

Yummy, a vegetable, gourd pie. I love me some zucchini pie too! It's a great idea, just like carrot cake and cheese cake. Nasty dessert FTL.
