My Lord :
Welcome to cooking : No, pumpkin pies are not likely to be very period to
vikings.
Depending on where they happened to be, the viking cook could have
produced any or all of the following :
apple pie/tart
cherry pie/tart
gooseberry pie/tart
governing factor would be access to an oven.
Aldreada of the Lakes, Montengarde, aVacal, An Tir
PS. If you are using canned pie filling (I know its not period, but lets
cut a beginning cook a little slack ok?), experiment with adding a little
extra spice (cinnamon, cloves) to the filling. I don't know enough about
gooseberries to venture a recommendation there.
