    Libby's New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie

    Jump to Recipe

    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.

    The art of crafting the perfect pumpkin pie has evolved over the years, and Libby’s New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie stands as a testament to this culinary journey. As seasons change and the air gets crisper, the craving for this quintessential dessert grows stronger. Drawing inspiration from the classic recipe, the new version brings subtle changes that elevate the dish while retaining its nostalgic charm. Is your oven preheated yet?

    WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT THIS RECIPE?

    Libby’s New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie recipe bridges the gap between time-honored traditions and contemporary tastes. While the original recipe has always been a favorite, this new recipe introduces nuances that enhance flavor and texture. The blend of evaporated milk with sweetened condensed milk creates a creamier filling, while the strategic use of spices ensures every bite is a harmonious blend of warmth and sweetness. It's an updated recipe that pays homage to its famous predecessor while making its own mark in the annals of homemade pies.

    IS THIS RECIPE BUDGET-FRIENDLY?

    Absolutely. Libby's New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie is not just about a richer taste, but also about affordability. The ingredients, while simple, come together to create a gourmet experience without straining the wallet. For those who prioritize both taste and economy, this new-fashioned pumpkin pie offers the best of both worlds.

    INGREDIENTS

    • Pumpkin puree: I used a can of Libby's
    • Evaporated Milk 
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk 
    • Salt
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Ground ginger
    • Ground cloves
    • Corn syrup (optional) Karo clear
    • Eggs
    • 1 unbaked pie shell (I used Pillsbury's prepared pie crust) 
    • Whipped cream (for garnish)

    (See recipe card for quantities.)

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    • Pumpkin Puree: Using Libby's 100% Pure ensures a consistent and rich pumpkin flavor, setting the base for the pie.
    • Evaporated & Sweetened Condensed Milk: Nestle Carnation is the preferred choice, adding depth and creaminess to the pie.
    • Spices: Ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves infuse the pie with traditional warmth, essential for that classic pumpkin pie essence. I always add a touch more cinnamon to every pumpkin pie.
    • Karo: I always add a tablespoon of clear Karo corn syrup. I think it contributes to the glossiness of the pie's surface. You can certainly leave it out.

    SUBSTITUTIONS

    If you're unable to source the specific brands mentioned, you can opt for other reputable brands, ensuring they are of high quality. For those seeking a less sweet version, consider reducing the corn syrup or omitting it altogether.

    VARIATIONS

    For an added twist, consider sprinkling a pinch of pumpkin pie spice over the whipped cream garnish. Alternatively, a caramel drizzle can add another layer of flavor, complementing the pie's natural sweetness. I do this with apple pies too.

    EQUIPMENT

    At the heart of the preparation is a large bowl, essential for mixing the ingredients thoroughly. Use a 9-inch pie pan to achieve the perfect pie depth, and ensure you have a cookie sheet on hand for any overflow. Once baked, a wire rack will assist in cooling the pie uniformly.

    STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

    STEP 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 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.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin?

    While the recipe calls for canned pumpkin for consistency, fresh pumpkin puree can be used. Ensure it's well-strained and of similar consistency to the canned version.

    How can I tell if my pie is done?

    Insert a knife near the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, your pie is done. It's essential not to overbake; the pie will continue to set as it cools.

    What's the difference between the old-fashioned pumpkin pie and the new-fashioned Libby's pumpkin pie?

    The new-fashioned recipe incorporates subtle changes, primarily in the milk components, enhancing the pie's creaminess and overall flavor profile. The new-fashioned recipe incorporates subtle changes, primarily in the milk components, enhancing the pie's creaminess and overall flavor profile.

    PRO COOKING TIPS

    • Temperature is Key: Start the baking at a high temperature and then reduce. This ensures a well-set center of the pie without overcooking the edges.
    • Monitor the Crust: As baking progresses, if the crust begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil or crust protectors to prevent over-browning.
    • Cooling: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature on a wire rack before refrigerating. This step ensures the texture remains consistent.

        This is actually Libby's "new" pumpkin pie recipe from three years ago. They omitted nutmeg. You can certainly add some! Thanks for asking.

      You're so right...this verson of the recipe is more flavorful and spicy, and not as sweet as the original. We loved it, and have added it to our Thanksgiving menu. Thank you!
