An ALDI Thanksgiving + Brown Sugar Glazed Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This will be the first year we cook Thanksgiving Day dinner at home & I am so excited to establish our own traditions as a little family.

We are looking forward to preparing our own feast for the very first time, but I want to make sure we are thoughtful about sticking to our monthly food budget. Thankfully, the selection of Thanksgiving Day ingredients at ALDI allow us to stay within our budget without compromising quality!

One Thanksgiving Day essential we will not be going without is pumpkin pie! I used Bake House Creations Pie Crust & Baker’s Corner Pumpkin Pie Mix – both found at ALDI – to make this delicious pie, but changed things up a bit by adding a caramelized brown sugar glaze on top!

Below you’ll find my go-to pumpkin pie recipe – it’s simple to make, but offers up that made-from-scratch flavor. I cannot wait to serve this pie on Thanksgiving Day!

– 1 Bake House Creations Pie Crust

– 1 can Baker’s Corner Pumpkin Pie Mix

– 2/3 cup of evaporated milk

– 2 large eggs

– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

– 2 tablespoons heavy cream

– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Begin by preparing your pie crust. Thaw crust according to package. Unroll & place on pie dish. Create your desired crust around the outside & set aside.

To make your filling, mix together Baker’s Corner Pumpkin Pie Mix with 2/3 cup of evaporated milk & 2 eggs in your mixer until well blended. Pour into pie crust.

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees & bake for an additional 60 minutes. Once the pie is done, allow to cool.

To make your brown sugar glaze, pour 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy cream & 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract into a medium-sized saucepan. Cook on high heat until your ingredients begin to boil. Once boiling, remove from heat & stir until your sauce begins to thicken. Allow to slightly cool.

To make your pie extra cute, use the second pre-made crust in Bake House Creations Pie Crust to cut out fall-themed shapes. I used a mini turkey cookie cutter & placed each one on a baking sheet, baking at 350 degrees until lightly browned. I then placed each turkey atop the pie once it was cooled.

To eat, drizzle the brown sugar glaze on top with a dollop of homemade whipped cream on the side. Enjoy with loved ones around the table as you share what you’re most grateful for!
