Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place your pie crust in a 9-10" pie plate.
- Please note: this pie gets very full. It's pictured made in a standard 9" pie plate. If you have a 9.5" - 10" or 9" deep dish pie plate, you can use those as well. If you're using anything smaller than 9-inch there will be extra filling. Use any extra filling to make mini pumpkin pies (see below). Place pie plate on a cookie sheet for baking.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour into pie plate.
- It's best if you cover the edges of the pie crust with foil or a pie crust shield before you start baking. Remove the foil after 50-60 minutes of bake time.
- Carefully transfer pie to oven and bake for 60-75 minutes. I'm giving a large range in time because it depends on what size pie plate you're using and your oven. My 9" pie plate took 70 minutes. It's done when the center looks solid. Cool completely, then wrap tightly and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.
- To make mini pies: use a round cookie cutter or mason jar lid to cut circles out of pie crust. Press into mini muffin pans and fill with about 1-2 tablespoons pie filling. Bake time will be about 20-30 minutes.

MY MOM'S PUMPKIN PIE FILLING

MOM'S PUMPKIN PIE
This recipe is the one we have been using in my family for 4 generations. It is a great basic recipe. It comes from Marjorie Standish's Cooking Down East. It does not use evaporated milk, or condensed milk, which is a good thing for me, because I never seem to have any of either on hand! I have also made this using other types of cooked squash (butternut, acorn, etc.), the picture I posted, is actually made with unpeeled acorn squash. If you use a 9-inch glass pie plate, you will have a little extra filling--just cook it in a ramekin along with the pie.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
- Combine ingredients in order given, and pour into unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
- Bake at 475 degrees for 15 minutes then 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
- Put pie ring around crust if it browns too fast.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin, but it won't have as robust a flavor.
- Don't overcook the pumpkin. Overcooked pumpkin will be mushy and bland. Cook it until it is just tender.
- Use a good quality pie crust. A homemade pie crust is always best, but you can also use a store-bought pie crust.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will spill over and make a mess.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent the filling from curdling.
- Reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes. This will help to prevent the filling from overcooking.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pumpkin pie that will be the star of your Thanksgiving or Christmas table. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
