My friend's anniversary was coming up, and somewhat jokingly asked if I could bake them something. I jumped at the opportunity- as long as I could bake something different (once again- hinting at the fact that my boyfriend doesn't like majority of baked goods). He came up with a pumpkin pie. I have no problem baking a pumpkin pie- I just find it funny that he would choose one as an anniversary dessert lol. Anyways, I was very excited to bake my first pumpkin pie!
I resorted to the typical Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe found on the back of their canned pumpkin. I wasn't going to go too fancy or gourmet for my first pumpkin pie, and opted for the familiar recipe.
The crust came out a little funky. I always have such a hard time making the designs. Maybe my knuckles are too big?
Although it cracked a little, my friend told me that the pie was very delicious and the happy couple and enjoyed it greatly! Yayyy... another happy friend.
