WOW! This pie is a dream! It's the first pumpking pie for me and I found it delicious.<br/>I supposed that the filling would not firm enogh, but there was no problem at all. It was juicy and still firm!<br/>The spices combo including the "all spices" is fantastic and I did not change it.<br/>Thanks a lot for posting this recipe.<br/><br/><br/>I prepared the dough for the crust with:<br/>3/4 all pourpose flour<br/>3/4 whole wheat flour<br/>1/4 cup oil<br/>1/3 cup water<br/>1/2 teaspoon salt

YUMMO!!!!!!! Sweet Goodness! I used frozen pureed butternut from this past years harvest. I skipped the orange( I would have really liked it but DS and DH wouldn`t) Thanks!

Just like I grew up with! I used real pumpkin puree, homemade crust, the works. The mix was really dark, so I was afraid it would taste spicy, but it ended up light and mild, just the way I like it! This will be the recipe my family grows up with. Thanks!

I made this and another pumpkin pie and took to Thanksgiving dinner. Both were much enjoyed. I loved the orange zest and the lightness and moistness of this pie. Thanks!
