Autumn Harvest Pumpkin Pie image

This is the best holiday pie I've ever tasted, with apple butter, orange and maple flavors mingling with the pumpkin. I use fresh pumpkin if I have a little extra time. —Stan Strom, Gilbert, Arizona

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more sugar. I found it to be a little tart for my taste.

This pumpkin pie is a fall classic! The flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg are perfectly balanced, and the pie crust is flaky and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect!
