I tried pumpkin-pie recipes from 3 celebrity chefs. The best was easy to make — and beat the one from a baking legend.

In the end, there's one pumpkin pie I loved more than the others. Paige Bennett I tried making pumpkin pies using recipes from Bobby Flay, Dominique Ansel, and Alton Brown. My favorite recipe was Flay's because it was easy to follow, and the whipped cream was delicious. Ansel's recipe was a disaster for me to make, and the final pie tasted quite bland. When it comes to fall comfort foods, nothing takes the cake quite like a slice of homemade pumpkin pie . Celebrity chefs certainly feel the same way, which is why so many have their own pumpkin-pie recipes . To find out which are worth trying this fall, I tested pumpkin-pie recipes from culinary legends Bobby Flay, Dominique Ansel, and Alton Brown. Here's how the pies turned out — and which recipe I'll totally be coming back to.
