Pumpkin Spice Pie: the most autumnal recipe (and the best companion for your coffee)

Autumn has a unique flavor, and few recipes capture it better than Pumpkin Spice Pie. This spiced pumpkin pie is a classic of American baking that has also won over our tables. The key is pumpkin pie spice—a blend of warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove) that turns any dessert into an autumnal tribute.

At Cafés Granell, we know well what these spices evoke because they are the same ones that bring our Pumpkin Spice Coffee to life, perfect to enjoy alongside a slice of freshly baked pie.

Easy Pumpkin Spice Pie Recipe

• 250 g pumpkin puree

Variations and Tips

If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make a homemade substitute with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove.

Want something different? Try a spice pumpkin pie with extra ginger, or even a spice cake pumpkin cake, combining the moistness of a cake with the intensity of the spices.

You can also use this recipe as a base for a pumpkin spice cake, perfect if you prefer a fluffy dessert instead of a pie.

The versatility of pumpkin pie spice is huge: cookies, cakes, pies… anything you want to turn into an autumn treat.
