Pumpkin Pie in the Oven

If you come up with an idea to bake pumpkin pie in the oven, use our simple recipe. By the way, it is radically different from the classic American one. Firstly, our pie is closed, that is, its filling is enclosed between two thin layers of dough. Secondly, we have significantly enriched the taste of baked goods by adding a large sweet and sour apple and orange zest to the pumpkin. It turned out just great! And finally, our oven-baked pumpkin pie is also good because it tastes better when completely cooled. That is, it can be baked the night before and served, for example, for breakfast with a mug of delicious warm milk.
