When I was a little girl, Pumpkin Pie wasn’t a favorite of mine, maybe it’s because I expected a little more flavor in a pie. Some pumpkin pies just don’t have that “gotcha” taste. You know that bite that makes you close your eyes in sheer delight. I never really figured it out. I mean my mother always used cinnamon and cloves in her old fashioned pumpkin pie recipe but something was just lacking for me.
It took me until I married my hubby, a lover of old fashioned pumpkin pie. And he is a lover of ginger in just about everything savory to get me on the pumpkin pie bandwagon. I also discovered eagle brand milk and Fresh nutmeg. The whole nutmeg holds its flavor until it’s grated. Bam-o, that was the three missing ingredients in my pumpkin pies! And this Eagle Brand pumpkin pie with freshly grated nutmeg made me became a lover of pumpkin pie!

🥣 Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Pumpkin for Extra Flavor: Elevate your pie by using fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. Cook and puree your Halloween jack-o-lanterns or grab extra pumpkins post-holiday, as they’re often affordable. Follow our guide on how to cook a pumpkin for a rich, authentic taste that takes this pie to the next level.
- Grate Nutmeg Just Before Use: For the best flavor, grate whole nutmeg right before adding it to the spice mix. Freshly grated nutmeg has a vibrant, aromatic quality that pre-ground versions can’t match. Use a microplane or nutmeg grater for quick, easy grating and maximum flavor impact.
- Protect the Crust for Perfect Browning: To prevent the pie crust edges from burning, use a pie crust protector ring or create a foil tent as directed. Remove it just before the pie finishes baking to ensure a beautifully golden, crisp crust that complements the creamy pumpkin filling.

Another great way to bring your old fashioned pumpkin pie pie to the next level is to use fresh pumpkin. We always take our jack-o-lanterns, cook them and freeze the meat for all our fall baking. That way we have loads of fresh pumpkin handy for pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, and the list goes on.
And you don’t waste those fun jack-o-lanterns you carved at Halloween. But as cheap as pumpkins are after Halloween, it might be a great idea to grab a couple of extras. And it’s not that hard to cook a pumpkin, I have all the steps right here>>>>How to Cook a Pumpkin
