Number Of Ingredients 29

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup light muscovado sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, cold
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup dark muscovado sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for the top
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved, or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Bourbon-Maple Whipped Cream (recipe follows), for serving
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, very cold
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved
2 tablespoons Grade B maple syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon

Steps:

  • To make the cinnamon crunch, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, oats, muscovado sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor, and process a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Pat the mixture evenly into a 4-inch square on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on.
  • To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix until combined. Press evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 10-inch pie plate. Brush with the beaten egg. Bake until light golden brown and firm, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • To make the filling, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, both sugars, and the molasses together in a medium bowl. Mix in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla seeds or extract. Strain the mixture through a coarse strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the butter.
  • Place the pie plate on a baking sheet, pour the pumpkin mixture into the shell, and sprinkle additional cinnamon over the top. Bake until the filling is set around edges but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
  • Cut the pie into slices and top each with a large dollop of whipped cream and some of the cinnamon crunch.
  • Combine the cream, vanilla seeds, maple syrup, and bourbon, to taste, in a large chilled bowl, and whip until soft peaks form.

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the Crust:
1/2 cup pecans (2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
For the Filling:
3/4 cup maple syrup
3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream, room temperature
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
For Serving:
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon plain whole-fat Greek yogurt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Special equipment:
A 9" deep-dish pie plate

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 10 minutes; let cool.
  • Pulse pecans and 1 Tbsp. flour in a food processor until finely ground. Add granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and remaining 1 cup plus 7 Tbsp. flour and pulse to combine. With the machine running, add butter, vinegar, and 2 Tbsp. cold water in a slow, steady stream and mix just until incorporated.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl and press with your hands until a dough forms. Form into a 6" disc, then transfer to pie plate and press into bottom and up sides with a flat-bottomed measuring cup. Crimp edge with a floured fork, if desired, and freeze while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the filling and assemble the pie:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Cook maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 8-10 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in cream, bourbon, cinnamon, and reduced maple syrup until combined.
  • Heat butter over medium in a small saucepan, swirling pan occasionally, until nutty, dark brown, and most of the foam has subsided, about 5 minutes. Immediately whisk into maple syrup mixture.
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is lightly golden, 10-15 minutes. Remove weights, then cover edge with a pie shield or foil to prevent overbrowning. Continue baking until center is golden brown, 5-10 minutes more.
  • Pour filling into crust and bake pie until edge is set but center is still very jiggly, 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool at least 2 hours (the center will set as pie cools).
  • Serve the pie:
  • Combine cream and yogurt in a large bowl. Scrape in vanilla seeds and reserve pod for another use, or add vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until soft peaks form. Mound whipped cream in center of pie.

This pie is fantastic! My husband can't stop talking about how good this is ... my adult son also really loved it too. This is definitely a celebratory dessert perfect for a holiday, cocktail party or special occasion. I used a pre-made Oreo pie crust as suggested.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 cup real butter, cut up
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
1 beaten egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Bourbon

Steps:

  • For crust, mix flour, sugar and salt in medium bowl.
  • Cut in shortening and butter until crumbly.
  • Stir in orange peel and just enough orange juice to form a dough.
  • Shape it in a ball and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Roll dough out between wax paper and fit it into your deep-dish pie plate.
  • Prick randomly with fork.
  • Refrigerate another 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  • For filling, mix sugars, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in mixing bowl.
  • Whisk together pumpkin, milk, eggs and orange peel in a seperate bowl.
  • Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients and set aside.
  • Make your egg wash by stirring egg yolk and water together.
  • Brush the entire crust with the egg wash and then pour the filling in.
  • Bake about 35- 45 minutes in preheated 375 oven until filling is set.
  • You may want to use foil to cover the crust if it starts getting too dark.
  • Cool pie on rack.
  • For Bourbon Cream, beat cream, sugar and bourbon until soft peaks form.
  • Serve a spoonful of cream on each piece of pie.

Tips:

  • For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky, tender crust that is not too greasy.
  • Chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not scoop the flour directly from the bag, as this will result in too much flour being used.
  • When making the filling, be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth, creamy filling.
  • Do not overcook the pie. The filling should be set, but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Conclusion:

Bourbon cream pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, custard-like filling and flaky pie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give bourbon cream pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
