Pumpkin Pie
My family’s traditional pumpkin pie recipe, it’s mildly spiced and creamy. My favourite version of the classic pumpkin pie.
This is the pumpkin pie I grew up eating and, to my taste, it’s the perfect pumpkin pie. It is creamy and flavourful, with just the right amount of spice. It has no cloves in it, which is often found in pumpkin pies but is a flavour I (personally) find overwhelming.
Top with freshly whipped cream. This recipe will make 2 pies, using your favourite pie crust or pre-made pie crusts.
