I can’t believe my trip to Sarasota was over a month ago! It feels like I was just there. During my time in Sarasota, I got to soak up the Florida sunshine and taste the deliciousness that is Yoder’s Amish Restaurant. They have such good home cooking and the absolute best pies. They don’t currently ship their pies, so I made sure to savor every bite of the pumpkin, pecan, and mixed berry pies I tried while I was there(We ate lots of pie! 😉 ).
While all the pies were delicious, the pumpkin pie was in a league of its own for me. Growing up, my family ordered pumpkin pies from the Pennsylvania Amish for Thanksgiving every year. It’s so hard to describe, but they always tasted different than the other pumpkin pies I ate from the store, bake sales, and holiday parties. While I love pumpkin anything, these were so much better. Yoder’s pumpkin pie tasted like the pumpkin pie of my childhood. I was so touched when they offered to send me a pie and share the recipe with me. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!
Yoder’s Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Ingredients
½ cup 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons flour
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Mix in 5 large eggs for one minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl when done.
Add pure pumpkin, mixing well.
Pour mixture into pie crust and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the mixture no longer jiggles in the center.
Let cool before serving. If desired top with whipped cream although this pie is so good it doesn’t even need it!
If you’re going to make a pumpkin pie this year please make this one. I promise you won’t be disappointed. It is seriously that good.
And if you’re one of the lucky ones who finds yourself in Sarasota, stop by Yoder’s and try their pies for yourself! They’re made right there in their kitchen with love.

Yum! I love pumpkin pie. My bf just bought a roaster pumpkin he wants to cook so I’m definitely going to coerce him to use this recipe 🙂
Reviewing the ingredients. What is the 1/2 and 1/2 for?
To go with the pumpkin filling and make it extra creamy and yummy!
i live in naples, Florida and drive up to understand for the pies.
Question, when do you add the half and half?
Thank you so much for the recipe!
Oops yes, that’s for mixing with the pure pumpkin! Sorry for that oversight, I really need to update the recipe!
Yep, I was wondering the same thing!
We get Yoders Pumpkin Creme Pie every year. You have to order and go early. They sell out fast. But the recipe isn’t right. After each ingredient it adds + 2 T.
Do you have Yoders PUMPKIN CREAM PIE RECIPE? It’s silkier. The BEST!
What is the +2 T after the ingredients..confusing
