Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

Recipe Description

Calling all pumpkin lovers! Cozy spices and comforting pumpkin flavor are abundant in this Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust. Each bite is creamy, silky, rich and totally delicious. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or any other topping that sounds right to you. 

Start with the crust. It’s super easy and doesn’t require anything fancy to whip it up. Feel free to use store-bought graham crackers for this recipe. However, if you want to go for extra credit, you can make whole-wheat graham crackers from scratch. Place the crackers, brown sugar, and softened butter in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of your pie dish and pre-bake for 15 minutes. Make the filling by whisking together eggs, pumpkin purée, sugar, spices, and evaporated milk until smooth and well combined. Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the crust and bake. Once the pie is done baking, turn off the oven and, leaving the oven door slightly open, cool the pie in the oven to room temperature. Then cover the pumpkin pie with foil or plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge until ready to serve. 

To make the Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust, you will need the following ingredients:
