THANK YOU, 'Nessa !!

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...

[wayey] 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!
