When October rolls around, pumpkins practically take over in America! From decorations on doorsteps to pumpkin spice lattes in coffee shops, they’re everywhere! But when it comes to the classics, nothing beats a good slice of Pumpkin Pie!
Well, to be honest, Pumpkin Pie is more of a Thanksgiving thing than an October thing, but with pumpkins being in season, it’s hard not to crave a slice! That’s actually one of the reasons pumpkin desserts became so popular—pumpkins are harvested in autumn, so people naturally found ways to turn them into something delicious!
Pumpkin Pie itself has a long history. It dates all the way back to the early days of America, when pumpkins were one of the most common crops. Early settlers would hollow out pumpkins, fill them with milk, honey, and spices, and bake them in hot ashes! Over time, that simple idea evolved into the creamy, spiced pie we know and love today.
The mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves gives it that warm aroma that fills the room the moment it’s out of the oven. It’s cozy, sweet, and has that unmistakable flavor that makes it a seasonal favorite!
So even if Thanksgiving is still weeks away, why wait? October is the perfect excuse to grab a fork and enjoy a slice of Pumpkin Pie!
