This one bowl pumpkin pie recipe brings all the fall flavors together — creamy pumpkin filling, warm spices, and a buttery homemade crust. It’s simple, comforting, and guaranteed to make your kitchen smell like autumn.

One Bowl Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Whether you’re baking for Thanksgiving or just craving something cozy, this pumpkin pie delivers every time. The filling is smooth and custardy, perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg — and it pairs beautifully with my Melted Butter Pie Crust recipe for an effortless, flaky base.

First, whisk together your pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. This step ensures your filling has that silky, custard-like texture. Next, stir in the cream and spices.

After that, pour the filling into your prepared crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. The oven does the rest of the work — as it bakes, your kitchen will fill with the cozy scent of pumpkin and spice. Finally, once it’s completely cooled, top it with whipped cream or chopped pecans for a finishing touch.

Let’s bake!

What Does Lactose Free Mean?

First and foremost, I try my best to incorporate lactose free ingredients in all my recipes. These ingredients can include, butter, milk, cream cheese etc. With that being said, sometimes it is hard to make an entire recipe using ALL lactose free ingredients. For example, my ice cream recipes include, condensed milk- NOT LACTOSE FREE.

Contrary to what some may believe, lactose – free is not the same as dairy free. Lactose – free still contains milk, however, there is a certain component, I believe a type of sugar (I may be wrong) where the lactose is removed from dairy, making it lactose – free. Dairy free on the other hand, contains ZERO milk. Alternatives for dairy free are almond milk, oat milk, soy milk etc. You can learn more about the differences here.

Which Ingredients Are Lactose Free?

• Whipping cream – I used a lactose free version.

Step By Step Instructions:

Step One: Preheat & Prepare the Crust

Gather all your ingredients, measure everything, and then set aside.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade melted butter crust, you can either pre-bake it for 10 minutes or fill it unbaked — both work well depending on how crisp you like your crust.

Step Two: Make the Pumpkin Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Then add in the cream, spices, and salt. Continue whisking until fully combined and creamy.

Step Three: Fill the Crust

Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.

Step Four: Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and just slightly jiggly in the middle. The pie will continue to firm up as it cools.

Step Five: Cool & Serve

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2–3 hours or overnight before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or add pecans.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Leftovers? No problem!

Keep covered at room temperature for up to 4 hours. You can also refrigerate and store for up to 4–5 days in an airtight container. If you want to freeze the pumpkin pie,  wrap tightly in a freezer safe bag for up to two months and thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of purée?

No — pumpkin pie filling already contains sugar and spices, which will make your pie too sweet. Use pure pumpkin purée for best results.

How do I know when my pie is done?

The center should be mostly set with a slight jiggle. If you insert a knife 1 inch from the center, it should come out clean.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, substitute full-fat coconut milk for the cream. It adds a subtle sweetness and creamy texture.

One Bowl Pumpkin Pie Recipe Tips and Variations:

1. Lactose-Free Option: Use coconut milk or oat cream instead of whipping cream.
2. Extra Flavor Boost: Add a tablespoon of maple syrup or a splash of bourbon to the filling.
3. Mini Pumpkin Pies: Make individual servings using muffin tins or mini pie dishes.
4. Make Ahead: Pumpkin pie tastes even better the next day — bake it the night before your event!

Troubleshooting Common Mistakes

1. Filling Cracked? It likely overbaked. Remove it when the center still has a slight jiggle.

2. Watery Filling? Too much liquid — measure your pumpkin carefully and avoid overmixing.

3. Crust Too Soft? Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.

4. Pie Didn’t Set? Let it cool completely; pumpkin pie firms up as it rests.
