Pumpkin Pie with Keebler Graham Cracker Crust
I like to use a Keebler brand crust for this easy recipe -- their crusts are reliably sturdy, with lots of flavor, so that's a great option! But if you have another brand you prefer, any store-bought pie crust will also work well for this easy pumpkin pie in graham cracker crust!
Ingredients
You won't believe how simple it is to make the best pumpkin pie with a graham cracker crust! Scroll down to the recipe card to see the full ingredients and measurements, but here's a quick look at what you'll need:
- canned pumpkin - pumpkin purée is the base for this incredible pumpkin pie! Look for anything that says "100% pumpkin", or "pumpkin purée", NOT pumpkin pie filling.
- sweetened condensed milk - canned condensed milk works double duty in this pumpkin pie recipe! It adds a rich creaminess to our filling and also adds sweetness!
- melted butter - I forgot to include the butter in the photo above, but I like to add melted unsalted butter to this pumpkin filling. It adds a little richness.
- eggs - you'll want your large eggs to be at room temperature. If they feel cold to the touch, submerge them in a bowl of lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
- vanilla - for the best flavor, I like to use pure vanilla extract. Or you can make your own!
- pumpkin pie spice - these warm spices are perfect with the other flavors in this creamy pumpkin pie filling and any pumpkin desserts! And if you love warming spices, check out my Chai Spice Bundt Cake, my Cake Mix Apple Cobbler, and my Cinnamon Roll Apple Pies!
- salt - brings out all these amazing flavors!
- graham cracker crust - a store-bought graham cracker pie crust is the key here! It makes this recipe so easy! Keebler makes a 10-inch graham cracker crust that is perfect for the amount of filling that this recipe produces, but if you can't find that, then a 9-inch pie crust will work too -- just don't overfill your pie crust! Discard any unused filling or make separate mini pumpkin pies with Keebler graham cracker crust minis! And if you prefer to make your own crust with graham crackers or pre-made graham cracker crumbs, check out my Lemon Bars with Graham Cracker Crust for my homemade graham cracker crust recipe!

Equipment
To make this pumpkin pie in graham cracker crust, you'll need a large bowl and a whisk to mix up your filling. You'll also want a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, and you may also want to have a wire rack to help the pie cool more quickly.
Instructions
The recipe card below will give you detailed step-by-step instructions for making this pie, as well as full ingredient measurements and a recipe video! But here's a quick look at how you'll make this pumpkin pie recipe!
Combine pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl, and mix well.
Stir in eggs one at a time and mix well.
Pour mixture into your graham cracker crust and bake until the edges of the pie are set and the center of the pie is still slightly jiggly.

Storage
Because we're making this pumpkin pie with a Keebler graham cracker crust, the crust has a built-in storage option! Just save the plastic cover and flip it over to store your leftover pumpkin pie in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure your whole pie is fully cooled before storing it, so that condensation doesn't make the crust soggy.
You can also freeze this delicious pie! Wrap the covered pie pan well with plastic wrap, than with aluminum foil. It should last up to two months in the fridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not with this easy pumpkin pie recipe! The pie itself needs a good amount of time in the oven, so your graham cracker crust will get nice and golden brown too!
If you're using a regular pie crust like my Flaky Butter Pie Crust, you'll want to pre-bake, or "blind bake", the crust to ensure that you don't end up with a soggy bottom crust. Luckily, we're using a an easy graham cracker crust, so a soggy bottom is not likely!
If you do end up with a soggy crust, it's probably due to condensation that settled into the bottom of the pie after baking. Be sure to let your pie cool, uncovered, at room temperature for at least two hours or until it's completely cool, before serving or storing. That will allow any condensation to evaporate, so that it doesn't settle into the bottom of your pie pan.
Top Tip
Make sure you let your pie cool completely before enjoying! This helps to set the filling and give it that smooth, creamy texture!
