Simple pumpkin pie
Description
The recipe won't take much time. When placing the dough into the pan, prick it with a fork in several places to make it crispy and well-baked. For the filling to reach its final consistency, it's best to refrigerate the pie overnight. You can add lemon zest and vanilla extract to the filling to make the pie more aromatic. Serve with tea or coffee.
