Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie Recipe

So basically what makes this pumpkin pie different from the classic pumpkin pie is its simple spices and ingredients. It doesn’t contain pumpkin pie spice or sweetened condensed/evaporated milk. But don’t let the simplicity of this pie fool you for a second. It’s silky smooth and creamy, with a wonderful, light cinnamon flavor and will disappear faster than the traditional pumpkin pie. My dad actually prefers this plain pumpkin pie over the classic pumpkin pie because this in the one he had growing up. I have to say, I think I prefer this pumpkin pie over the regular version because let’s be honest, it’s absolutely delicious. The amazing simplicity of this pie will turn you into a convert with the first creamy bite, I promise!
