EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AMERICA’S BEST TRADITIONAL PUMPKIN PIES
Pumpkin pie, oh my! Nothing gets us to eat Thanksgiving dinner faster than knowing a thick slice of pie is waiting. Whether you like this orange creamy custard pie made with spiced pumpkin purée to kick off fall, to enjoy for the holidays, or to indulge any day of the year, we have the perfect pumpkin pie for you.
This famous custard pie, made from strained, cooked gourds, has been enjoyed for centuries. The British used orange squash for baking pies and the pilgrims ate these pies when they first arrived in America. Recipes evolved over time and canned pumpkin has made it even easier to whip up a homemade pie.
While traditional pumpkin pie with a homemade pie crust is anything but basic, these pies go beyond the best store bought pumpkin pies. These squash pies introduce sensational spices, whipped toppings, and even rich and creamy cheesecake.
