This was a delicious pumpkin pie. I liked the brown sugar addition instead of white. I used Penzy's spices and vanilla. It makes all the difference in the world of baking if you use good spices. I never buy spices on sale from anywhere. We really liked this pie! Made this for the Undercover Pie Photo Event! Thank you for a great recipe! Jelly :)

I gave this 3 stars. I made this pie for my family Christmas dessert. My family really liked it. I love spicy pumpkin pies and I personally was hoping it was more spicy. But overall this was very good and I will make it again. I was really worried when making this as the pie filling was real runny but it all turned out great. Thanks for posting a really good recipe.
