Fire up your Traeger and bring out the pumpkin—this is an easy, crowd-pleasing pumpkin pie that gets a subtle boost from real maple syrup and pure vanilla. Our Traeger Pumpkin Pie is creamy, smooth, and one of the simplest pies to make whether you’re entertaining for the holidays or just craving a classic dessert with a hint of smoke from your pellet grill.
Traeger Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I usually avoid most pumpkin-flavored treats, but pumpkin pie is the one exception I’ll always make. This version keeps things simple: smooth pumpkin filling enlivened with maple and vanilla, poured into an unbaked pie crust and baked on a pellet grill for a subtle, smoky finish. No fuss, no complicated layers—just a straightforward, satisfying dessert.
The combination of pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice delivers a rich, silky texture without the need for extra steps. Baking on a Traeger or any pellet grill adds a delicate smoky note, but you can also bake it in a conventional oven with the same temperatures if you prefer.
Serve chilled slices with whipped cream or a drizzle of extra maple syrup. This pie is a fantastic addition to holiday dinners and is easy to prepare ahead of time so you can enjoy the day instead of spending it in the kitchen.

How To Make This Recipe
Below is a clear overview of the steps so you can see the overall process. For best results, follow the fully detailed recipe card in the recipe section.
- Preheat the Traeger: Set your pellet grill to 425°F (218°C).
- Mix the filling: Whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, pure vanilla, maple syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and fully combined.
- Prepare the crust: Fit the unbaked pie crust into a deep-dish pie plate and crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake on the grill: Pour the filling into the crust. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking until the center is set—about 25–30 minutes more. The pie should no longer be jiggly when gently shaken.
- Cool and chill: Let the pie cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 4–6 hours or overnight to fully set and develop flavor.
These simple steps make it easy to manage timing during a busy meal—start the pie earlier in the day so it has plenty of chill time before serving.
