Very happy with this recipe. It definitely is

very easy & flavor is great. Was worried that the maple flavor would be overwhelming so

listened to another review & cut it to 1/4 tsp. Husband & daughter totally satisfied.

This is a keeper, & will always use this recipe.

This is *by far* the Best pumpkin pie I've ever had! It got raves at tonight's Thanksgiving dinner. I skipped the maple flavoring and it was great anyway.

re the person that said they would make and freeze pie - I read somewhere pies with milk in them didn't freeze well. Don't know from personal experience.

This is the pumpkin pie recipe we've been using since it was first published in the magazine! We love it.

I've just made my first ever pumpkin pie and I used this recipe. I read the comment below about it not turning out well and I was a little daunted. I decided to try it today so that I could do something else for Thanksgiving if it failed but..I'm so excited!!

It looked beautiful coming out of the oven and the smell was divine. I made leaves to decorate it and glazed them with egg white and sugar to edge the pie.

It looked so lovely, I was so proud of it but it didn't look a tenth as good as it tasted! Thank you for a wonderful recipe, a fantastic first ever time baking such an all American classic and even better - I get to make another on Wednesday for Thanksgiving dinner!!! (My first ever Thanksgiving dinner in America too!)

So easy & so good. I used my pumpkin pie spice 1 TBLSP instead of the cinnamon & nutmeg it called for. Was so good I had to make another one right away and put in the freezer to have at Christmas!
