spiced pumpkin pie

Updated on Dec 28, 2010

This is a variation of a classic recipe that I altered many years ago because I prefer pumpkin pie that is heartily spiced with a firmly textured filling. I make this pie often as it is always requested and a favorite in my family! Don't forget the whipped cream!
