Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, including pumpkin pie! I absolutely love pumpkin pie and I will always defend its rightful place at the breakfast table, yes, ice cold with whipped cream and a hot cup of coffee. This Pumpkin Pie recipe is adapted from Libby's New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie with my little tweaks. I read that Libby's recently made a change to its signature pumpkin pie recipe for the first time in 75 years. Well, say no more, I had to try this. The New Fashioned Libby's Pumpkin Pie calls for subtle changes in spices, as well as the use of sweetened condensed milk. The result is a spicier, less sweet pie. I found it delicious and my Dad, also a pumpkin pie connoisseur, said it was the best he's tasted!
I always add a touch more cinnamon to every pumpkin pie, as well as a bit of clear Karo corn syrup. I think it contributes to the glossiness of the pie's surface. You can certainly leave it out.

- Add your own pie crust or a refrigerated pie crust to a 9" pie pan and crimp edges. Keep in refrigerator until ready to fill.
- Mix the spices and salt into small bowl and set aside.
- Beat the eggs by hand in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl add the pumpkin, the spice mixture and Karo syrup. Slowly stir in the evaporated milk followed by the sweetened condensed milk. Stir in the eggs and mix well.

- Reduce temperature to 350°F and bake for 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Check at 30 minutes to see if the pie is done. Do not over bake! Cover loosely with tented foil or pie crust covers if the crust begins to get too brown.
- Cool pie completely, then refrigerate. Serve with whipped cream.

Love this pie. Have had several church ladies ask for the recipe. Just curious, why no nutmeg?
Mary says
This is actually Libby's "new" pumpkin pie recipe from three years ago. They omitted nutmeg. You can certainly add some! Thanks for asking.
