Pumpkin pie is the quintessential pie for fall and Thanksgiving gatherings. It has the perfect creamy custard in a tender and flaky crust. Adding whipped cream to the top and garnishing with a sprinkling of cinnamon just adds to the “wow” factor of flavor!

My husband, Charlie, enjoys my pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream. I hope you and your family will enjoy my recipe, too.
