Ingredients:
- 1 Can Pumpkin Puree
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Allspice
- 1/8 tsp Cloves
- 1/4 tsp Ginger
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 3 Eggs, 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 1/2 cup Half ‘n Half
Preparation:
1. If making crust from scratch, pre-make and allow to cool. I suggest cooling dough overnight. For an excellent crust recipe click HERE.
3. Combine pumpkin puree and spices. Mix well.
4. Smooth onto a baking tray.
5. Bake mixture at 350F for 12-15 minutes.
6. While pumpkin mixture is baking, prepare pie crust. You will need to pre-bake the crust. For the above recipe, pre-bake the crust 15-20 minutes at 400F.
7. Scrape mixture into a bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and half ‘n half. Wisk thoroughly.
8. Pour mixture into pre-baked crust.
9. Egg-wash the crust edge carefully.
10. Bake pie at 425F for 15 minutes. THEN drop the oven temperature 350F for 35 minutes.
11. Allow to cool. The pie center should have a slight jiggle. It will solidify further as you cool the pie.
12. Serve with whipped cream and enjoy. Happy Holidays!
**The above picture is a perfect example of spillage and the crust browning too much. That’s why it’s important to pour the filling carefully! Learn from my mistakes.**
Bonus Tip: If you would like to get extra fancy, use some of the share crust dough to make leaves or other decorations for the top of the pie.
