Absolutely delicious! Thank you Sam (Sugar Spun Run)! My hubby doesn’t really like pumpkin pie, but he gobbled a piece of your pie up this last night and said he loved it.

4/5 stars for me on this one. I really appreciate all your recipes! We did a taste-off between this recipe and another (Libby’s adaptation) for Thanksgiving. I think your recipe was more spice-oriented and less sweet compared to the other recipe. Not bad but wasn’t our favorite of the day. However, I am definitely glad I tried it so thank you so much for the share!

After years of surrendering to the Costco pumpkin pie l, I decided to return to baking one myself. Costco’s pies are just too big for our family and I hate wasting food. This recipe was amazing! Whilst I didn’t make the homemade crust (I’ve made crust before and it frightens me) the pie filling itself was absolutely divine. I only had dark brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice on hand so that’s what I used, but otherwise followed the recipe as shown. The flavor and texture left me wanting more! Thank you for this recipe which is now on our Thanksgiving “must have” list! Perhaps one day I’ll have the courage to make crust again, I can only imagine how much better this pie would be!

This pumpkin pie recipe is amazing! For many, many years we have driven 45 minutes to a bougie bakery the day before Thanksgiving to get our pie – it was our tradition. Our children are grown and have moved out so I wanted to try making our own. Everyone in the family agreed that your recipe is much better than the pie we purchased for so many years. We all LOVED this pumpkin pie – even our daughter who doesn’t like pumpkin. I appreciate that you put the ingredients in the instructions also. The only change I made was to add a 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe! It’s our new tradition!

Not a fan of pumpkin pie, but was asked to make it, so I went with my tried and true recipe buddy! I was told this was the best pumpkin pie that they had ever eaten! Great recipe as are ALL of them!

In reply to Janet. You will just want to double everything. You'll certainly need a bigger pie plate, unless you make 2 pies. Baking 2 at once may increase bake time slightly. :)

What are the adjustments if I double this recipe?

In reply to Laura. Hi Laura! It could be possible, but I don't recommend it as it could alter the final product and I just can't say for sure how it would turn out.

Can I use less sugar? 3/4 cup seems like alot!

I was wondering if I could blind bake the crust the day before making the pie?

In reply to Elisheva. I'm so glad it was such a hit, Elisheva! Thank you for your feedback making it non-dairy. :)

Hi
I baked 2 versions of your delicious pumpkin pie recipe for last Thanksgiving: 1 I made exactly according to the recipe and a 2nd pie I made as non-dairy. In the non-dairy version, I substituted heavy cream with a store-bought blend of almond cream/coconut milk. The thickness of this substitute is very thick like real heavy cream. Both pumpkin pies were delicious! (I did this because some people wanted non-dairy.)
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

I’m so glad you have enjoyed everything so much, Angela! I haven’t tried baking this in a muffin tin. It’s tricky to answer the question of pre-baking the crust. I think the safer bet would be to pre bake the crust, but I just don’t know without having tried it. 🙁 If you do try these I would love to know how it goes. 🙂

Every recipe that I have ever tried on your site is a hit. I can’t wait to try this one.
I’m planning on making this recipe for a church gathering. I need to make this in muffin cups so that its easy for everyone to get one.
How long should I bake them for?
Do I still pre bake the crust?

We LOVED your recipe! I teach 8th grade Culinary – I presented your recipe with 4 others to my 64 Chefs and they voted for your recipe over the others. We made it this week and we were all thrilled with the end result. Their families were talking about it, former Chefs from previous years of mine were talking about it – this is a hit! Thank you so much for sharing – we enjoyed every minute and your instructions were excellent. Our finished bars are shared on IG @lexlionchefs with you getting credit.

My husband loves pumpkin pie so I decided to make this for him and he loved it. The spice combo along with the amount of salt made this perfect.
