Description

The BEST EVER pumpkin pie, creamy spiced pumpkin filling and a flaky buttery crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 single crust pie dough 
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree 
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie dough: Roll out chilled pie dough into roughly a 12″ circle on a floured surface.  Place into a 9″ deep dish pie pan and gently ease the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan.  Trim the excess dough around the edges so it is 1/2 inch beyond the lip of the pie pan.  Tuck the overhang under itself so it is even with the edge of the pan.  Crimp the outside edge of the dough as desired.  Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F.  Line the chilled pie shell with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with pie weights.  Bake on a rimmed baking sheet for 15 minutes, the pie dough should begin to look dry and pale in color.  Carefully remove the parchment and pie weights and continue baking for 5 minutes, until the crust is dry and just beginning to turn golden in color.
  3. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
  4. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined.  Add in the cornstarch, spices, salt and evaporated milk.  Whisking thoroughly until smooth.
  5. Pour filling into the warm crust and bake for 45 – 55 minutes.  Tent the edges of the pie crust with a pie shield or foil ring that only covers the outer crust and not the center of the pie.  (This will prevent the crust from browning too much.)  When finished baking, the edges of the filling should be set and the center should still have a slight wobble.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 2-3 hours.  Store pie covered tightly with plastic wrap in the fridge until ready to serve.  Serve with whipped cream if desired.
