I first made this recipe for Thanksgiving in 1984, when I clipped it from a Family Circle magazine. I have made it every year for the past 27 years, and it always gets huge RAVES from family, friends, and co-workers!

I couldn’t find my copy of this recipe. I am thrilled to find it on this site! I think I still have the pan it came in. I had trimmed the label down to the recipe and folded, it just fit into my file box.

I’ve been making this recipe since it appeared in the magazine also. But I’m having a problem with the crust here in Ohio that I never had baking the pie in NY. Here is Ohio, I now have an electric oven, no matter what I try, the crust does not hold it’s shape it really spreads and does not look like the picture, yet with my gas oven in NY it always held it’s shape. I’ve tried butter, margarine, blue bonnet, chilling in fridge, freezing. Anyone have any suggestions? This is just so frustrating since I know what the crust edge should look like.

I planned on making this this year, remembering how good it was, but when I pulled out my old recipe the entire left side with all the amounts was crumbled away! Thanks for posting this 7 years ago!!!

Thank you for printing this recipe. I have been making it since it was first printed. Not sure what magazine I clipped it from. My copy got so faded. This is the only pumpkin pie my family will eat.
