My best friends mom always made this pumpkin pie for us. The secret she said was that you mix the batter up and let it sit overnight in the fridge so that the spices had time to "bloom". The recipe makes 2 pies which is good because 1 just isn't enough! I sometimes added a streusel topping to the pie for a extra treat!
