Since the 19th century, pumpkins have been a key staple in harvest celebrations. They were typically stuffed with apples, spices, and sugar and baked whole. Now the pumpkin is commonly made into a pie with a delicious golden crust. This tahini pumpkin pie is a healthy version of the classic and an absolute must-try for pumpkin pie and tahini lovers!
