Pumpkin pie is a traditional North America n Dessert usually made in the late Fall and early Winter , especially for Halloween , Thanksgiving , and Christmas . The Pie consists of a Pumpkin -based Custard , ranging in color from orange to brown, baked in a single pie shell, rarely with a top crust. The pie is generally flavored with Nutmeg , Cinnamon , Cloves and Ginger and is traditionally served with Whipped Cream , although in parts of Canada it is commonly served with Maple Syrup instead. In the USA, this pie is often made from Canned pumpkin or canned pumpkin pie filling (spices including pumpkin all spice); this is a seasonal product available in bakeries and grocery stores. In other countries it is usually made from scratch from whole pumpkins. John Greenleaf Whittier wrote in his 1850 poem " The Pumpkin ":
The holiday Carol "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" makes a reference to homemade pumpkin pie being looked forward to by a man returning to his family's home in Pennsylvania .
