Ingredients That Make a Difference

While the core elements of custard filling are present in Simmons’s version, there are distinct differences that set it apart from what many consider a traditional pumpkin pie today. One significant departure from contemporary recipes is the absence of granulated sugar. Instead, Simmons's recipe calls for molasses, which lends a unique flavor profile to the pie.
