Pumpkin Pie

Yield: 1 pie, serves 8
This is a pretty simple recipe! It is right from the can of pumpkin-pie filling! The only thing I add to this recipe is a thin layer of mince meat filling over the bottom of the crust before pouring in the pumpkin-pie filling.

  • 2 eggs
  • 398ml (1/2 can of 796ml) Pumpkin Pure
  • 1 cup (250ml) packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp (2ml) ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp (1ml) salt
