This is our usual go-to Thanksgiving pie. It's called Easiest Pumpkin Pie because all you do is mixed together a few basic ingredients and bake. The condensed milk does most of the work. If you've never made a pumpkin pie, this might be a good one to start with. It was Fuzz's first pie, and it gave her so much confidence she's now an expert pie baker. She's grown up a little since I posted this photo, but it shows you how long we've been making this pie.
Easiest Pumpkin Pie with Condensed Milk
The recipe is from Eagle Brand, so in my mind it's also known as condensed milk pumpkin pie. All you do is mix together pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs and spices. You then put the filling in a crust and bake. Easy. So if you have a small child, it's a good one to start with. I can also say, as someone who doesn't care much for pumpkin pie, this one is appealing.
Other Good Recipes
So this is our family favorite pumpkin pie. If you want something a little more sophisticated, there's another recipe I recommend from James. I don't know James, I just think of him in relation to his pie. On his pie page he shares the famous vodka pie crust recipes which is another one we use from time to time.

I've never made a sweet potato pie! Looks great. My little one has little impulse control too. They're influenced by all of those yummy sweets we make 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!

My pumpkin pie has a fingerprint too-from me. I'm still working on impulse control for me, but it's way on the bottom of the list. Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful pie--don't think of it as a fingerprint, but a charming 'dimple' like in Shirley Temple's cheek!
Happy Thanksgiving Anna, and I'm very thankful to you to have gotten me to start baking this year, even if it's only chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, brownies, and bar cookies thus far. Hey, from nothing to that ain't bad, actually! I'm very inspired by your blog!

Anna/Fuzz;
Oh your pumpkin pie looks grande! Being that I am the queen of impulsive...it takes years to overcome! There is something about the aroma of pumpkin pie baking...you just want to have a slice of that pie before it cools! You go Fuzz!
Enjoy the movie! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving one and all!

"Muy bonita" indeed! Great job Fuzz, I would have done the same thing pocking my finger! Happy Thanksgiving Anna!!!
Carrie says
Beautiful pie! I made one today, too but my crust shrunk. I have no idea why this happens, but your crust looks absolutely perfect.

I would probably stick my finger in the pie, too. The heck with impulse control.
My you, Todd, Fuzz and Lizzie have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Impulse control is highly over-rated. What a wonderful looking pie!

Looks great, I need to get to work. I think all pies should have one finger print in them! Adds a lot of character, you know.
