PUMPKIN PIE Recipe

This simple pumpkin pie recipe is made from scratch and is a great holiday dessert that you can make ahead of time.

PIE CRUST: – 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust PUMPKIN PIE FILLING: – 1 cup light brown sugar (200 grams) – 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (8 grams)

Ingredient

– ½ teaspoon salt – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon ground ginger – ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg – ⅛ teaspoon ground clove – 3 large eggs at room temperature – 1 (15-ounce can) pumpkin puree (425 grams) – 1 ¼ cups evaporated milk (300 ml)

Direction

Roll the pie crust: I roll mine to 12 inches. To fit it in and decorate the edges, make the pie crust slightly larger than your dish.

I find it easiest to roll the crust over my rolling pin and unroll it over the pie dish. Make sure your pie dish is at least 1 1/2 inches deep because this recipe makes a lot of filling.

Add crust and decorate: Stretching dough shrinks crust, so be careful. Refrigerated crust relaxes and shrinks less. Chilling butter and shortening makes pie dough flakier.

Forking the crust bottom prevents bubbling when removing pie weights. Parchment-wrapped pie weights: Flour, rice, and dried beans eliminate pie weights! Bake 15 min at 400°F. Brown crust edges.

Remove pie weights: Lift the parchment paper and pie weights from the pie crust. The crust bottom will look raw—this is normal! Bake at 400°F for 5 more minutes to bake the crust bottom.

Lower oven temperature to 375°F (190°C): The filling must bake at a lower temperature to avoid burning or cracking. Mix the dry ingredients: Mix brown sugar, flour, spices, and salt in a small bowl.
