Time for us to start thinking about Thanksgiving. The first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of Thanksgiving is Pumpkin Pie. Yep, even before Turkey, it’s gotta be pumpkin pie. So, if you want a good pumpkin pie, use the recipe found on the back of a can of Libby’s Pure Pumpkin. If you want a recipe that’s better than Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie, try this one. It’s based off of Libby’s with a necessary variation.
If you need a good pie crust recipe, try our Never Fail Pie Crust.

Note
The main difference in this pie is the nutmeg. I'm not sure why Libby's doesn't call for nutmeg but it makes a huge difference in the taste of the pumpkin pie. Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie is the base for this recipe.
