Pumpkin Pie is a dessert that is perfect for dessert early Fall through the Winter. Filled with aromatic spices and delicious pumpkin filling, there’s nothing like a homemade, fresh-baked Pumpkin Pie! (vegetarian)
Pumpkin Pie
Hi Everyone, what dessert goes with every Fall holiday and is totally appropriate for the dinner table Labor Day through Christmas? Pumpkin Pie of course! This time of year, I am just craving Pumpkin Pie and all the fragrant spices in it.
This recipe is based on Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie recipe which is a food memory of my ideal and favorite pumpkin pie recipes.
Pumpkin Pie is one of those desserts that I can easily eat for breakfast. It’s one of those desserts that can masquerade as health food, even though I am aware it’s not, it still tastes so good with all the pumpkin and spice goodness.
