This pumpkin pie is like no other. It’s not a custard-style pie; it’s more like an apple pie, but made with pumpkin. I know it sounds a bit wacky, but believe me when I tell you that this pie is unbelievably delicious.

This non-traditional pumpkin pie recipe is featured in Season and Serve Magazine! This issue’s theme is Sleepy Hollow Halloween and is filled with cozy, comforting and elevated ideas for celebrating fall and spooky season. If you love fall and Halloween, you need this magazine!
