This is the perfect pumpkin pie recipe for Thanksgiving, or any holiday, fall, or just for fun. It is sweet and spiced, pairing beautifully with a dollop of whip cream on top. I got this recipe from my friend’s Grandmother. She has been baking this pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving every year since she was a kid. She was kind enough to show me how to make it and let me take some for after my Thanksgiving dinner. It was absolutely delicious and the best I’ve ever had. It was smooth and felt very light, not heavy at all which was great after my filling meal. I enjoyed every bite, and even went back for seconds! I highly encourage you to make this easy recipe and impress your family and friends! Enjoy!
