Satisfy your pumpkin craving with this easy, small pie recipe.

As I approached my friend’s house, I could already smell pumpkin pie. Instinctively, my stomach muscles clenched in anticipation. My friend, who was also my pumpkin pie collaborator, always had the best pies. This year, she had made a small pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner. I knew that even a small slice of her pie would be delicious.

As I rang the doorbell, I could hear my friend’s oldest daughter screaming inside. I knew that she was probably playing with her cousins in the living room. My friend always put too much sugar in her pies, so even a small slice would be too much for her. I was about to give up hope when the door finally opened. It was my friend’s youngest daughter, who was only six years old.

“Mom, there’s a pumpkin pie in the kitchen!” she cried.

My friend quickly put away the pie she was preparing and led me into the kitchen. I could see that her youngest daughter had been right – there was a pumpkin pie on the kitchen counter.

“Thank you,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎

My friend’s youngest daughter always has the best insights. That was the case this Thanksgiving when she told her mother that there was a pumpkin pie on the kitchen counter. My friend quickly put it away and led me into the kitchen where I could see it.
