I love pumpkin pie. In fact, everyone in my family loves pumpkin pie. We have to make several pumpkin pies every holiday season because my dad, brother, son, and I will eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. It’s just that good, y’all.
This recipe started off as Libby’s pumpkin pie recipe on the back of Libby’s Pumpkin Puree can. Over the years, it had evolved and turned into something with a little more flavor and is just perfect.
We usually double this recipe and it works just fine baking both pies at the same time.
Can I Make My Own Crust?
Absolutely you can! And I’m sure it will taste delicious – I just know my limitations around the holidays and I’m okay with shortcuts to help me get everything I need to do while staying sane.
Can I Use Canned Pumpkin Pie Mix Instead of Pumpkin Puree?
No.
