This is the best holiday pie I've ever tasted, with apple butter, orange and maple flavors mingling with the pumpkin. I use fresh pumpkin if I have a little extra time. —Stan Strom, Gilbert, Arizona

AUTUMN HARVEST PUMPKIN PIE



Autumn Harvest Pumpkin Pie image

This is a very easy, very good pumpkin pie recipe (I'm not much of a baker and even I can handle this one!) It originally came to our family by way of a series of cookbooks published in the 1960's by high school home economics teachers: Mrs. Patsy Sachse Edmunds of Crete-Monee HS in Crete, Illinois gets the original credit for this.
