GF Classic Pumpkin Pie

This recipe, the gold standard for pumpkin pie, was created by Libby’s brand canned pumpkin. We – and most other Americans – agree that there is nearly no other recipe that is quite as good. This pie sets the standard for pumpkin pies and is what most people think of when they hear the term.
