My family has been making this classic pumpkin pie recipe for as long as I can remember. It’s creamy and delicious with plenty of spice. It’s incredibly simple to make and a great project for kids, too. I used to make this recipe with kindergarten students. Each child would take a 4″ pie home on the last day of school before Thanksgiving break.
