NO-FAULT PUMPKIN PIE
From the Moosewood Cookbook with no variation. Our family has a controversy about 'pumpkin' pie vs. 'punkin' pie. This recipe comes closest to the PUNKIN pie my father remembers from childhood. I imagine it's the hint of molasses that makes the difference.

NO FAIL HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE
This is a classic, unfussy pumpkin pie recipe. We take it plain or, when feeling feisty, with a dollop of softly whipped cream. The spices are not overpowering, here. If you like your pie spicy, increase the cinnamon and ginger a little. (We'd stay away from increasing the cloves, a 1/4-teaspoon should suffice).

Steps:
- 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. (Be careful not to pull or stretch the dough). 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. Crimp edges. (You can see us do this in our pie crust recipe video). 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 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick or thin knife plunged it 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 becomes too dark, cover with a thin strip of aluminum foil.
- Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours or until room temperature. Cut into eight wedges and serve alone or topped with whipped cream. To store, cover the cooled pie loosely with foil or plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

NO-CRUST PUMPKIN PIE
Baked in a water bath, this pie has a texture that's more like a custard than a traditional pumpkin pie. In place of canned or fresh pumpkin, I sometimes use cushaw, a type of crookneck squash.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can buy it canned.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients carefully. Baking is a science, and too much or too little of an ingredient can throw off the whole recipe.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy, flavorful filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect way to end a Thanksgiving meal or any other special occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give pumpkin pie a try!
