I knew I was going to be out of town today but didn’t get anything ready to post, so I thought I would reshare my pumpkin pie recipe. It seems fitting since it is our Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend !

I did a lot of cooking yesterday and hopefully I will get it all posted before Thanksgiving actually arrives.

I made two pumpkin pies to have with dessert. We are going to have that and the other half of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake I made last week and froze.

I know it seems easy to just buy a can of prepared pumpkin pie filling but it really isn’t that much more difficult to mix it up yourself with a can of pumpkin puree. I have been making this same recipe for probably almost 30 years now… and yes, that was hard to admit to… and other than the one time I forgot to add the sugar lol, it has always tasted great.

These are the ingredients. Plus either a homemade or premade pie crust.

To make the filling you literally mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl/measuring cup (I have a 10 cup measuring cup), using a whisk and pour it into your prepared pie crusts. This recipe makes enough filling for 2 regular size pie crusts.

I put them on lined cookie sheets just in case we have an overflow…it has been known to happen.

I bake them at 375 for 20 minutes and then 350 for 20 – 30 minutes, until they are done in the centre. And that’s it, semi homemade pumpkin pie filling. Next time I will make the pumpkin puree myself too and post that.
