Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Pumpkin pie
Looking to make your own Pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year? If so, you might want to consider giving this one a try. This is one of the best pumpkin pie recipes I have tried and it’s very easy to make. For this recipe we are using a pre-made pie crust or a box mix. I know this is cheating but it saves a lot of time. I prefer the Pillsbury pre-made pie crusts, all you need to do its press them into your pie dish. If you want you can substitute the cinnamon, ginger and cloves with 1 2/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. The taste will be slightly different but still good.  This is the perfect recipe for busy Holiday cooking; you can have this in the oven within 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Enjoy.

      It is wonderfully delicious!! My husband LOVES pumpkin pie, and this is a winner!! Since we’re trying to eat low-fat stuff, I changed the sugar to light brown sugar, and evaporated milk to soya milk. Don’t know if it makes big difference in calories and fat but it tasted as delicious :) thank you!!!

      I made this pie tonight and it turned out really good. It reminded me of a spiced pumpkin pie. I really liked the consistency. If I substitute the other spices for pumpkin pie spice will it be less spicy?? You said it would taste different and I was just wondering in what way different?
