There is a big difference in eating a homemade pumpkin pie vs. a frozen pie you heat up. First is the crust. You will love my no-fail pie crust along with my two favorite pumpkin pie recipes.
I use the remaining pie crust to cut shapes to lay on the sides of my crust. Here I used mini leaf cutters and brushed with egg yolk to give it a nice shine.

Do you need a Pie Crust?
I have two easy pumpkin pie recipes – one using the pre-made pumpkin pie mix and the other using pumpkin puree (you add the spices and sugar, etc.)
Both turn out great.
What you need:
Pie crust recipe (save left over dough for shapes)
Mini cookie cutters or knife to cut shapes
Pumpkin Pie:
Pumpkin Pie Can (it already has all the cinnamon etc.)
2/3 Cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
Whisk well. Pour into prepared pie crust.
Put in hot preheated 400 degrees oven for 10 minutes.
Then bring temp to 350 degrees for another 50 – 60 minutes.

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (15 oz.) 100% Pure Pumpkin
- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) Evaporated Milk, (Or substitute with equal amount Lactose-Free or Almond Cooking Milk)
