Pumpkin pie in a sheet pan is easy to make and a great Fall dessert when you’re feeding more than just your family. Great party or brunch item, let me tell you that baking a whole or 1/2 sheet cake is the bomb I tell you!
Pumpkin Pie in a Sheet Pan
I really don’t care traditional crust, this is much sweeter and better! Have you ever thought of making a cake mix pie crust? If not you’re in for a treat. You’ll want two bowls and a 9×13″ pan to prepare this. Not quite as easy as our Pumpkin Pie in Ramekins but yet again another unique way to bake this favorite treat.
Whipped cream is a great add on when serving this or our impossible pumpkin pie. I prefer mine cold, but cooled and slightly warm is wonderful too. If you have a bunch of guests over for the holidays this is the way to go.
Pumpkin Pie in a 9 by 13 Pan
You will literally get the same flavors as if it were in a traditional round pie plate. Best part though is that you can make it larger, with more filling and not so much crust than if you made two of them.
This sugar cookie pie crust is way better too. Now if you wanted to make it even larger you could use a sheet pan with high sides and could double everything. Timing wouldn’t be a lot longer since the filling wouldn’t be quite as thick.
It is nice and easy since the box has most of the ingredients you’ll need, minus the melted butter and egg. It will come out like cookie batter, nice and thick. Spread that out. No need to precook this, it will all get done once you layer on the next level. This is what you’re going to need to make this 3 ingredient pie crust (and then the filling).
Cake Mix Pie Crust Ingredients
- Cake mix – yellow used, spice cake mix works too
- Butter melted or dairy free alternative works
- Egg should be added at room temperature
Filling Ingredients
- Pumpkin puree like libbys
- Cream cheese makes it creamy
- Vanilla extract is great
- Powdered sugar will thicken the insides
- Cinnamon gives it a Fall flavor
- Nutmeg we love too
- Could add pumpkin pie spice too
Equipment Needed
Large bowl with cooking spray for 9×13″ or use a baking sheet with larger side lip, one linked below. If you have a jelly roll pan that is 10×15 that would work fine as well.
If you want to go all out you would have to start with an actual gourd and cook until so tender that you can scoop out the flesh and blend to smooth. You should follow our pressure cooker pumpkin directions for that, it is the fastest and easiest for that step.
How to Bake Pumpkin Pie in 9×13 Pan
- Preheat oven and spray a 9×13 pan or sheet pan this size with high sides
- In a bowl mix ingredients to make your crust, combine into a dough.
- Dump into pan and press on to bottom.
- In another bowl mix your pumpkin pie filling. Beat on low until smooth.
- Pour the filling on to the crust in your pan
- Bake until pumpkin filling is set and center is no longer wet and gooey.
Remove from oven and place on cooling rack to cool completely. If you want to serve it cold, wait until room temp and put plastic wrap on top of pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Slice into squares and put whipped cream on top when served. You can make air fryer pumpkin pie too if you have a bunch of friends coming over.
How do you know when pie is done?
We talk all about How to Tell if a Pumpkin Pie is Done here. If a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, take it out. If you giggle the pan gently too and the center remains firm then it is done and ready to cool. This is what the center filling mixture looks like once it is blended together.
Tips
It is important to cool completely in order to slice into squares and serve. If you don’t it will likely break apart and taste great, but not look pretty. Ok so technically this is a 1/2 sheet cake if you are looking at the specific size of the pan, but it’s usually plenty big for most family get togethers.
If you and/or your guests love pumpkin pie you’re going to go bananas over this creation!! I kid you not I don’t use traditional pie crust ever, unless it’s for a savory dish, because this version is so much better!
Of course you can top with whatever you want, or nothing. A dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip is great though. I am guilty of eating leftovers for breakfast. 😉

Can Dogs Have Pumpkin Pie?
Put simply no you should not give your puppy this. Yes it is true that actual pumpkin puree that is pure without any additives is good for their bellies, mixed with other ingredients is different.
If you want to make homemade puree it’s easy in a pressure cooker. Ideally the cucurbita variety is the sweetest. If you can’t find that you can always blend in some sugar.
Yes. That is why you really need to let it sit and cool before slicing. Many times the center looks a bit wet but not to worry. Once it sits it will firm up as you imagine it should.
Do you use pumpkin pie filling or 100% pure pumpkin??
