This perfect pumpkin pie recipe is my go-to for Thanksgiving and any other time I want a pie.
It’s really easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. But, the best part is, it uses whole milk instead of evaporated or condensed, which makes it way easier to “throw together” without needing to go to the store for special ingredients!
It’s the perfect way to finish your holiday dinner on a sweet note.
