Traditional Pumpkin Pie (GF/DF)

Anyone else absolutely adore pumpkin pie?

Not only does it taste delectable, but it offers beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, and folate – all of which strengthen your immune system! It seems even more appropriate that this tends to be a winter treat, does it not?
