Because it’s not too late to enjoy another pumpkin pie.
Because Christmas deserves pumpkin just as much as Thanksgiving does.
Because I love this pumpkin pie.

I’m pulling it out of the archives and sharing it with all of you once again.

I love a good piece of pumpkin pie. For me this means, a melt in your mouth crust that is not at all soggy and the perfect spice-to-pumpkin ratio. This recipe hits the nail on the head and bakes up beautifully.
