Libby's famous pumpkin pie is the back-of-the-can American Thanksgiving classic: pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and warm spices baked into a flaky pie shell. Holiday dessert gold standard.

Pumpkin layer cake with cooked fresh pumpkin, warm cinnamon, and a tender, moist crumb. A two-layer Thanksgiving and Christmas cake that's lighter than spice cake but just as comforting.

Cheesecake pumpkin pie layers a graham-pecan crust with a creamy pumpkin-cream cheese filling spiced with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Hybrid Thanksgiving showstopper.

Chock full of pecans and well spiced, perfect snack for a cooler Autumn day.

A vegan pumpkin pie with a silky tofu-set custard, spiced with cinnamon, ginger and mace and sweetened with molasses, in a flaky from-scratch crust. An egg- and dairy-free holiday classic.

Pumpkin bread loaded with semisweet chocolate chips, warm cinnamon, and nutmeg. A brown-sugar dusting in the pans bakes into a sweet, slightly crisp crust around a moist, tender crumb. The holiday quick bread that vanishes fast.
