In my opinion, there's no contest as to which homemade pumpkin pie is best. No matter how good your canned filling is, it will never match pumpkin pie from scratch. -Christy Harp, Massillon, Ohio

Steps:
- Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut shortening into the flour until the shortening breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
- Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir gentle until the dough starts to come together.
- Dump the dough onto a work surface lined with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Shape dough into a disc and wrap tightly with the plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C)
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin and sugar-spice mix and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk until incorporated.
- Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6 mm)-thick round. Keep the surface and rolling pin floured as needed so the dough doesn't stick. Transfer the dough to a 9½-inch pie pan (24 cm). Tuck the edges under and crimp. Note: The key to flaky pie crust is to handle it as little and as gently as possible. Handle it only as much as is absolutely necessary to mix, shape, and roll out.
- Pour the filling into the pie shell.
- Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack for 2 hours.
- Slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- For the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the stem from the pumpkin and scrape out the insides, discarding the seeds. Cut the pumpkin in half and lay the pieces cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Rub canola oil all over the skin and bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let cool.
- For the easy pie crust: While the pumpkin is cooking, make the crust. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the butter and work into the dough with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in just enough cold water (4 to 5 tablespoons) with a fork just until the flour is moistened. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap one ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
- Roll out the remaining dough ball on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold the overhangs under and crimp decoratively. Pierce the dough all over with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Line the crust with foil, fill with dried beans or pie weights and bake until the sides are set, about 12 minutes. Remove the foil and beans. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- For the filling: Scoop out the pulp from the roasted pumpkin and puree in a food processor until smooth (you should have about 4 cups). Add the condensed milk, cream, cornstarch, molasses, canola oil, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs and combine thoroughly.
- Pour the filling into the crust and bake until the filling is set in the center, about 1 hour. Transfer the pie to a rack and cool for 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently lay the rolled-out pie crust in a pie dish. Trim the excess dough around the sides.

- After chilling the crust, crumple a piece of parchment paper, then spread it out in the center of the crust. Add dried chickpeas or baking beans to the center and spread toward the sides of the crust--this will add weight to keep the crust from puffing up and hold up the walls.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, until slightly golden and there are no raw doughy spots.
- Cut the sugar pumpkin into 8 wedges. Use a paring knife or spoon remove all of the seeds and pulp.
- Place the pumpkin on the prepared baking sheet and dry roast for 15-20 minutes, until tender.
- Let the pumpkin cool slightly, then peel off the skin using your hands or a spoon.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425˚F (220˚C).
- Add 16 ounces (455 g) of the pumpkin to a food processor, along with the cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and half-and-half. Puree until very smooth, 6-8 minutes.
- Pour the filling into the prebaked crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash.
- Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and continue to bake for 30-35 minutes more, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
- Let cool at room temp for at least 2 hours, or in the fridge overnight

CREAMY PUMPKIN PIE
This is my grandmother's pie recipe and is excellent for fresh pumpkin. I cut my pumpkins and bake them for an hour or so, depending on the size of the pumpkin, and them mash them through an old colander that has a pestle with it. Also passed down from my grandmother. I freeze 4 cups of processed pumpkin so that I always have the exact amount of pumpkin I need for a pie.

Tips:
- Utilize fresh pumpkin purée: Making your own pumpkin purée from scratch ensures the best flavor and texture for your pie. Baking or steaming pumpkin chunks and then pureeing them yields a smooth,浓郁的 consistency.
- Craft your own pie crust: While store-bought pie crusts are convenient, creating your own homemade crust elevates the pie's overall quality. Follow a simple recipe for flaky, buttery crust that complements the pumpkin filling.
- Achieve perfect spice balance: Pumpkin pie spice is a delightful blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. Adjust the proportions according to your taste preferences to achieve the perfect balance of warmth and flavor.
- Prevent over-mixing: Over-mixing the pie filling can result in a tough, dense texture. Gently stir the ingredients until just combined to maintain a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Ensure proper baking: Bake the pumpkin pie at a high temperature initially to set the crust, then reduce the heat for a gentle, even bake. This technique prevents a soggy bottom and ensures a perfectly cooked filling.
- Cool before serving: Allowing the pumpkin pie to cool completely before serving allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up. This crucial step ensures a slice that holds its shape and delivers the ultimate pumpkin pie experience.
Conclusion:
Creating a homemade pumpkin pie from scratch is a rewarding culinary endeavor that yields a delicious and comforting dessert. By following these detailed tips and techniques, you can elevate your pie-making skills and impress your friends and family with a truly exceptional treat. Indulge in the nostalgic flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg, perfectly encased in a flaky, golden crust. Embrace the autumnal spirit with this classic dessert that embodies the essence of the season.
