    Making use of in-season fresh pumpkin and ingredients commonly found in most kitchens – milk, sugar, and eggs – this pumpkin pie recipe is a wholesome way to enjoy the best the season has to offer.

    Naturally gluten free and delicious!

    Like all of my most favorite gluten-free desserts, this Fresh Pumpkin Pie with Gluten-Free Walnut Crust is a delicious, naturally gluten-free dessert that can be made without complicated ratios of flour substitutes and additives.

    • Press walnut mixture into the bottom and up the sides of 9-inch pie plate.
    • Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly colored.
    • Whisk pumpkin purée, milk, sugar, and spices together in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
