Hello, lovebugs! 
Pumpkin pie has and always will be one of my all time favorite desserts, but I must admit that I’ve never actually made one myself.
Until yesterday, that is.
In fact, yesterday was my first time ever making *a* pie. I’m all about taking baby steps, so I opted for using a frozen Pillsbury pie crust. Sandra Lee would be happy, no?
And, since I wasn’t sure which pumpkin pie recipe to use, I automatically assumed that the recipe with the word “famous” attached would be the best choice.
Everything seemed to be going without a hitch…
…but what sort of first-time pie-baking experience would that be? 
After overcoming the beginning stages of a temper tantrum and some cleanup, everything was back on track.
An hour of baking later - all past mishaps were forgotten.
Actually, scratch that. It was actually about 12 hours later that the mishaps were forgotten. You see, I was so determined to eat this pie yesterday that I made it at 7am. You know, because it requires two whole hours of cooling. I play it safe when it comes to my pumpkin pie, clearly.
My patience most certainly paid off.
Semi-homemade pumpkin pie + whipped cream = per. fect. ion.

- Have you ever made a pumpkin pie?
- What’s your favorite semi-homemade dessert?
Yummy! Last night I made a recipe Libby pumpkin can. The pumpkin rolls. They were delicious! You have to make them they were so good!
I’m glad your pie turned out despite that little mishap!
I’ve never made pumpkin pie - I always leave it up to my mom to make it because she makes the BEST pies! If I ever do tackle one myself, I’m pretty sure I would use a store-bought crust too. Faster baking process = I get to eat the pie sooner.
that looks delicious!
i baked a quiche the other day and apparently the crust wasn’t thick enough and the pan (the bottom like, snaps into the other part… hard to explain) wasn’t quite connected right… so half of the eggy liquid dripped out of the pan and onto the bottom of the oven. oops. so see, could’ve been worse
I love pumpkin pie! Yours turned out amazing, as usual! My favorite semi-homemade dessert would totally be pumpkin pie, too
You know pumpkin pie is one of my favorites too and I’ve never made one! I think it’d be fun to make mini ones in a muffin tin!
I love Pumpkin Pie! Like you, I have never made pumpkin pie before but I hope to soon!
I LOVE pumpkin pie! It’s probably my favorite pie…I heart it so much!
My favorite semi-homemade dessert is Strawberry Shortcake made with Bisquick! My mom used to make this all the time…you can’t really go wrong with Bisquick shortcakes…
When I was in high school I was obsessed with baking - to the point that I would stay in on Friday nights to try out a new recipe. My junior year my sister gave me a pie kit for my birthday. I still remember the first pie I made from scratch - pumpkin! It’s so much better than store bought that its hard to go back. Crusts seem intimidating but they’re actually pretty easy - you have to give it a try next time, you’ll definitely appreciate it.
I haven’t made pumpkin pie yet either, but I really want to! Yours looks great!
haha it’s just a little spill. nothing serious
Looks like it turned out really good though! I made many a pumpkin baked good but never a pumpkin pie. Is that weird? haha
my brother makes legit gourmet meals and I’ve never met a cupcake i couldn’t bake and ice perfectly… however EVERY year we try to make a pumpkin pie and EVERY year something goes wrong-most of the time it ends up looking inedible and we run to the store! Yours looks to die for though!
Pour the excess in ramekins next time…makes for awesome crustless pumpkin pies
I’ve never made it, and to be honest it’s not my favorite pie. At our Thanksgiving table it’s second to apple with a scoop of ice cream.
Oh man, oh man! I want pumpkin pie soooooooo back right now!
I made pumpkin pie last year for my family at Thanksgiving. One pie, and one pumpkin cheesecake. Best of both worlds. I think pumpkin pie is one of my allll time favourite desserts. I mean, how could it not be? Especially with whipped cream. To die for.
I’ve never made a pumpkin pie. Usually for fear something terrible would go wrong. Yours turned out perfectly!
Youre going to put Sandra Lee out of a job!
That pie looks so yummy! I have never made a pumpkin pie but I think that might have to change
I don’t think I have ever made a pumpkin pie without the help of my Mama. However, I HAVE made pumpkin roll- I think I like it better than the pie!
That looks so good-I love pumpkin pie! Best recipes girl!
you’re so adorable! i love it - i am finally making a return to reading your blog (sorry it took me so long!) and i love the fashion segments. totes agree - white after labor day is all in how you wear it baby!!!
ahh lokos so good!! i am such a terrible baker! i would buy the store bought crust and as long as it is EASY PEASY to follow I can do it
send me a slice!!!!
Yes! I have made pumpkin pie. I don’t even like store bought! But homeade is possibly one of my favortist desserts ever!
Try it frozen! I promise its soooo good! Notl like freezer-burned but like frozen and defrost for like 30 seconds so that its cold but eatable! Its the bomb.com.
Pretty much I only like pumpkin pie homeade. and frozen.
Hahaha!!! That’s about how my baking experiences are too! Looks yummy
The last pumpkin pie I made was Thanksgiving last year. It was my second ever and was awesome. I followed my mom and grandma’s formula, can’t go wrong following tradition!
i’ve made a pumpkin pie once. then i realized how long it took to cool. i’m not patient enough to have pie on my counter and not eat it. so now i buy pumpkin pie ice cream and put cookies on top instead.
Apple pie is my hands down favorite..I’d have it any time of the year
I actually like it with a heartier crust, though. We made it with a frozen one last year and I wasn’t that big of a fan..
So much pumpkin flying around blogland lately!
This pie looks lovely <3

I’ve never made a homemade pumpkin pie, but that thing looks delish!
My favorite semi-homemade dessert is an ice cream sandwich using break and bake cookies
I have never made pumpkin pie but this looks so easy that I may just give it a shot! Thanks for the great recipe!
mmm…. pie
Even better that it’s pumpkin!
I can’t believe you made a pie! How domestic of you
