Mostly Homemade Pumpkin Pie
You can’t go wrong with Pumpkin Pie. 🥧 I call this easy dessert “Mostly Homemade Pumpkin Pie” because you have the option to “cheat” a little with the crust but still end up with an amazing Pumpkin Pie recipe that tastes completely homemade!
This delicious homemade Pumpkin Pie recipe uses canned pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie mix, for a flavor that can’t be beat. It may take you an extra 30 seconds to bring canned pumpkin to life, but trust me, it’s worth the effort!
It also gives you the choice of using your favorite homemade pie crust recipe or a store-bought pie crust. You pick what works best for you and your schedule!
