Tastes delicious: there’s no significant difference in the flavor. They taste just as good as your favorite pumpkin pie.
Adaptable: we’ve kept this recipe as simple as possible by using pumpkin pie spice and premade graham cracker pie shells. If you prefer a traditional pie crust, you can make your favorite or buy one from the store. If you would rather mix up your own favorite blend of spices for pumpkin pie – go for it!

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice: you can make your own or use store bought.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

FAQ’s
How Do You Know When Pumpkin Pie Is Done Baking?
Pumpkin pie is done baking when the filling is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Can You Freeze Pumpkin Pie?
Pumpkin pie is excellent for freezing. Wrap your pie with plastic wrap, then foil, and place in the freezer for up to 1 month.
To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator, then reheat in an oven set to 350°F. If the crust starts to brown too much, cover the edges with foil until the pie is fully heated through.
