What to make for Thanksgiving when your in them middle of moving? That was my dilemma and this pumpkin pie was perfect. I made the crust using melted butter, a bit of sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Mix them together and pat on the bottom of a pie dish. Bake for 8 minutes at 350 and your done. It's much easier than a regular pie crust. Back to the maple walnut pumpkin pie... .. This comes together very fast. All you have to do is mix together the filling, pour, and bake. It was delicious. No one will ever know how easy it was to make!
