I don’t know if it’s all the holiday festivities or the end of year stress, but every November and December I binge enough desserts to make up for an entire year of healthy eating. What can I say, it’s pie season!
One of the easiest and most beloved is the holiday pumpkin pie. There’s plenty of places and online influencers that will try to get extra fancy with pumpkin pies, but personally, I like them classic – just like the holiday season.
For those who want a tasty pie that’s easy to make, Hotel Jen was kind enough to share their secret recipe. Their pumpkin pies are a favorite amongst diners and a great choice if want to conduct your own unofficial bake-off against their chefs in your kitchen.
