Your family will love this Homemade Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust! It's simple to make and perfect for the holidays.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram for a bit, you know I’ve been working with Midwest Dairy this year. I've loved working with them to develop dairy recipes and celebrate our regional dairy farmers. Midwest Dairy represents over 5,000 dairy farming families. And, they're generous supporters of Wonderscope!
While my son and I were at Wonderscope, we PLAYED! It’s rare that he and I get time one-on-one, so I treasured our time together. When we explored the outside play area at Wonderscope, we visited the Midwest Dairy exhibit! It surprised my son to learn that most dairy gets to the grocery store within two days. He loved taking his photo with the life-sized cow!
When we got home, we kept our one-on-one time going and did some seasonal baking! My son LOVES to bake with me! Baking is a great activity for kids and helps boost their confidence in the kitchen. We made his favorite fall pie, Pumpkin Pie!
To make the crust kid-friendly, we made a graham cracker crust! Even when I'm making a pie solo, I don't love the process of making and rolling out a traditional pie crust. Your kiddos can help smash the graham crackers and mix the crumbles with the melted butter!
For the pumpkin pie filling, I deviated from the traditional approach a bit. We use heavy cream, a bit of milk, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon for a rich, creamy filling. I love to bake the filling until it's a bit golden brown on top. This adds extra depth of flavor and pairs so well with the crunch of the graham cracker crust.
Once you allow your delicious pumpkin pie to cool, slice and remember to serve with whipped cream!
