I can't say it's the best pumpkin pie in the world (though it's good), but this easy condensed milk pumpkin pie is our main, go-to, tried-and-true pumpkin pie recipe. Fuzz has made it every year since this picture was taken. As I update this post, I'm a little sad because this will be her first Thanksgiving away from home in a different city, but I know she'll be making a pie. Honestly, maybe not this one because this was her gateway pie. She made this one, then learned how to make her own crusts, started experimenting with filling, and became a big Erin McDowell fan. I like to think this pie also had something to do with it.
Easiest Pumpkin Pie with Condensed Milk
The recipe is from Eagle Brand, so in my mind it's known as condensed milk pumpkin pie. All you do is mix together pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs and spices. You then put the filling in a crust and bake. Easy. So if you have a small child, it's a good one to start with. I can also say, as someone who doesn't care much for pumpkin pie, this one is appealing.
Best Yet Pumpkin Pie
So this is our family favorite pumpkin pie. If you want something a little more sophisticated, there's another recipe I recommend from James. I don't know James, I just think of him in relation to his pie. On his pie page he shares the famous vodka pie crust recipes which is another one we use from time to time.

I've never made a sweet potato pie! Looks great. My little one has little impulse control too. They're influenced by all of those yummy sweets we make 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!

My pumpkin pie has a fingerprint too-from me. I'm still working on impulse control for me, but it's way on the bottom of the list. Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful pie--don't think of it as a fingerprint, but a charming 'dimple' like in Shirley Temple's cheek!
Happy Thanksgiving Anna, and I'm very thankful to you to have gotten me to start baking this year, even if it's only chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, brownies, and bar cookies thus far. Hey, from nothing to that ain't bad, actually! I'm very inspired by your blog!

Anna/Fuzz;
Oh your pumpkin pie looks grande! Being that I am the queen of impulsive...it takes years to overcome! There is something about the aroma of pumpkin pie baking...you just want to have a slice of that pie before it cools! You go Fuzz!
Enjoy the movie! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving one and all!

Beautiful pie! I made one today, too but my crust shrunk. I have no idea why this happens, but your crust looks absolutely perfect.

I would probably stick my finger in the pie, too. The heck with impulse control.
My you, Todd, Fuzz and Lizzie have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Impulse control is highly over-rated. What a wonderful looking pie!

Looks great, I need to get to work. I think all pies should have one finger print in them! Adds a lot of character, you know.
