Pumpkin Pie
- Prep: 30mins
- Cook: 1hr
- Total: 1hr 30min
INGREDIENTS
- Chilled pie dough for one single-crust 9-inch pie
- 3 large eggs 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (65 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup (175 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
DIRECTIONS
- Roll out the dough so that it is two inches larger than your pie dish.
- Gently press dough down into the dish so that it lines the bottom and sides. Trim dough to within 1/2-inch of the dish edge.
- Fold edges of dough underneath itself, creating a thicker, 1/4-inch border that rests on the lip of the dish and then crimp the edges. Make sure to refrigerate while you make the pie filling.
- Whisk eggs and both sugars together until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and the salt. Stir until well blended.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet. Pour pumpkin filling into the pie shell.
- Bake pie at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick plunged into the pie about 2 inches from the edge comes out clean. Rotate once or twice during baking. If, while the pie bakes, the tops of the crust become too dark, cover with a thin strip of aluminum foil.
- Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours or until room temperature.
- Cut into slices and serve topped with whipped cream.
- To store, cover the cooled pie loosely with foil or plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator (good for up to 3 days!)
