That sounds easy enough for even me to do and I am NO pie baker! And even better, it smells yummy, right from my computer screen...

yay Vanessa! sounds like another winner. You are so kind to share your recipes.
I'd like your opinion on spices.
I don't have any ginger.But I have pumpkin pie spice.The label says cinnamon,ginger,nutmeg,and allspice. Would that work? I've had this pumpkin pie spice about a year. Do you think that it 's too old?

Duckie, it is fine to use pumpkin pie spice. I don't use a lot of store bought spices...I try to always grind my own freh spices. Store bought spices have a pretty long shelf life depending on how you stare them....I personally would replace them after a year though. This is a really great pie...it has become my new favorite!
