I must admit I’m a team Apple Pie or Pecan Pie when it comes to Thanksgiving, or any time for that matter. But I’m breaking into our secret stash of Grandma’s family recipe cards and sharing a classic Pumpkin Pie for you, just in time for Thanksgiving.

1 teaspoon cinnamon

This recipe is so special to me that I brought it to life as an addition to our Family recipe Collection. Check out the full collection of recipes here.
The degrees in parenthesis were handwritten into this little typewriter card so I can only assume this was a trial and error game here and someone was learning as they went. It looks to be my moms handwriting. This well-loved card was clearly used a lot as it has quite a few stains and a great dark coloration.
