Turtle + pumpkin pie? How could it get any better?! Well, it is extremely easy! I had this pie a few weeks ago and thought it was to-die-for so I asked for the recipe. I will warn you the cinnamon and nutmeg do give it a spicy taste, but I loved it. I would suggest adding a bit less of the spices if you want a more toned-down spicy taste. This is a quick and easy pie that will please everyone you make it for!
