I thought it would be nice to break away from the traditional cake posts and share one of my favorite desserts to have during the fall. Pumpkin pie! This recipe is adapted from my grandmother’s cookbook. She would stew her own pumpkin to make her pumpkin pies. My version uses canned pumpkin and lower fat milk, but tastes just as good as hers did growing up.
