Classic Pumpkin Pie is so easy to make, you can teach a child to do it.

Will there be Pumpkin Pie on your Thanksgiving dessert table? My hubby is a firm believer that Pumpkin Pie is a must have dessert for Thanksgiving but this easy pie is good to make any time of the year.

When a recipe is super fabulous it will stand the test of time like this Classic Pumpkin Pie recipe!

Pumpkin puree and shaved nutmeg make this recipe stand out. I always use ready made pie shells because it makes life easier. When the pie recipe is super easy and you don’t even need a mixer, why complicate matters?

Classic Pumpkin Pie recipe made from scratch except for the pie shells of course. No mixer needed. This recipe is so easy we mix with a whisk.

Ingredients

2 cups Pumpkin puree (canned is fine)
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger
1/2 whole Nutmeg, shaved
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 Eggs
2 pie shells Unbaked

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425º

In a bowl, mix the first 7 ingredients using a wire whisk until well blended.

Place your pie shells in your pie dish and pinch the edges.

Pour the pie filling into the pie shells. You should have enough to make two thin 9" pies or 2 thicker 8" pies.

Place the pies onto a large baking pan then place it in the oven. Set timer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 350º and continue to cook about 35 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool before cutting. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Refrigerate leftovers if there are any leftovers!

Notes

The number of servings per pie is based on how big you cut them. Some folks think a pumpkin will only serve a couple of people. You should be able to get 8 slices per pie thus this recipe will serve 16. You might consider buying one of these (affiliatel ink) to guarantee you get 8 slices.

There is nothing quite like a classic pumpkin pie. It’s one of my all-time favorite pumpkin recipes. Plus it reminds me of my grandma and my mom. Thanksgiving Day Dinner calls for pumpkin pie. I wish I had a slice of your pie right this instant.
