At last, it’s starting to feel like autumn here! It even rained a little bit today (insert happy dance here)!  I’m so ready for the fall and everything related to it – rainy days, cooler weather, colorful leaves (we don’t get them much, but still), apple pies, and pumpkins.

October is a perfect month for everything pumpkin. Starting from different pumpkin baked goods and soups to different crafts and jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween. So we decided to gather a handful of delicious pies, all made of pumpkin.

Did you know that the largest pie made of pumpkin was in 2010 and weighed 3,699 lb (1,678 kg)?
