You can’t celebrate fall without pumpkin pie! Here’s the recipe I do each fall and everyone who tasted it loved it;
Ingredients:
• 1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée ( 14 oz can) * not pumpkin pie filling
• 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon grounded cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• vegan pie crust
Preparation:
• Preheat the oven to 350F
• Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
• Pour the mixture into the crust, smooth out the top or decorate it with a sigil of some sort if you want to bring a bit if magic into your baking.
• Bake for 60 minutes. The edges will probably start to crack and the middle will still look uncooked. Let it cool for a minimum of 4 hours in the fridge UNCOVERED.
• Reheat lightly to serve. Enjoy as is, or with coconut whipped cream.

Cinnamon is used mostly for it's abundance and prosperity enhancing abilities, but it also can be used for protection! Ginger brings abundance too but mostly passion and vigor, even romance. Nutmeg is a lucky spice, protective and a symbol of fidelity. Cloves are boosters, increasing self-confidence and augmenting the strength of spells and rituals.
