    Nothing fancy about this pumpkin pie recipe. Just a basic pie recipe that is perfect for those of you that don't have a lot of experience baking. It's also a great recipe for more experienced bakers that are short on time and need to make a quick pumpkin pie.

    While you can use a whisk to mix the pumpkin pie filling, I like to use my electric beaters for this one. Maybe I'm just lazy but I just find it quicker to get the filling done and ready to be baked in the pie crust.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    When using refrigerated pie crust, make sure you let it come to room temperature before placing it in the pie pan. Not only will it be easier to unroll the dough but it will also guarantee the best possible bake.

    You can eat a slice of this delicious pumpkin pie all by itself but it even tastes better with a dollop of whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
