Crustless Classic Pumpkin Pie

Arguably, the best part about any pie is the filling. So, Crustless Classic Pumpkin Pie is obviously one of the best pies out there because it doesn't have any crust whatsoever! This is a fun take on a classic Thanksgiving pie recipe that you'll want to make over and over again, year after year. The pumpkin pie filling is perfectly rich and creamy. It has a wonderfully warm flavor thanks to quite a few fall spices, including cinnamon and allspice.

To give the pie a little more substance to it and to keep it from being a bit runny, this recipe adds some graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumbs into the filling. You'll hardly notice that they're there but they truly make all the difference.
