My family loves my recipe for pumpkin pie
Makes 1- 9" deep dish pie
Prepare your favorite pie crust for a deep dish 9" pie. Pre-bake for 10 minutes. Use pie weights in bottom to prevent crust shrinkage
Filling:
2 cups smooth pumpkin puree (make sure your pumpkin/sqush was drained well of extra liquid after baking etc)
3 large eggs
1 cup packed dark brown sugar (be sure to use dark brown)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tbsp. corn starch
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 tsp fresh grated orange peel (organic orange)
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup evaporated milk
Mix pumpkin puree, eggs, and drk brown sugar. maple syrup
Add: cornstarch, salt, spices, orange peel, pepper, cream and evaporated milk
whisk together well till combined. Let sit overnight in fridge for flavors to mingle
Pour into prebaked pie shell filling 3/4 way to top
Bake @ 375 for 55 - 65 minutes till the center of filling is a bit wobbly in middle. (Check pie for doneness after the first 55 minutes.)
Tip: Cover crust with pie shield or tin foil after 25 minutes of baking
Filling Freezes well
