'Tis that time of year when everyone is looking for the classic pumpkin pie recipe for their upcoming Thanksgiving dinner so today I thought I would post for all of you my aunt's recipe for her delicious creamy pumpkin pie! This recipe is really easy to make because you make it in one bowl only and you use a store bought pastry pie crust.

Classic Pumpkin Pie Recipe

1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk
1/2 can evaporated milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon butter, softened
2 unbaked store bought pie crusts

In a large mixing bowl combine together the dry ingredients first and then add in the moist ingredients one at a time, mixing after each addition with an electric mixer. Mix until the batter is creamy and smooth. Pour batter into 2 unbaked pie crusts. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place your pie pans onto a baking sheet and then slide them into your oven. Bake for 25-27 minutes or until the center of each pie is done. Remove and let cool before serving.

You can serve it plain or top with your favorite vanilla whipped topping, vanilla ice cream or vanilla yogurt.
