Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- If using a homemade crust: Cover the chilled crust with a piece of parchment paper. Fill the crust about three-quarters full with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Take the crust out of the oven; remove the parchment paper and beans/pie weights and tent the edges with a few strips of foil folded in half lengthwise (this will protect the edges from getting too dark). Bake for another 20 minutes, until the dough is dry and golden. Don't worry if the bottom puffs up; just press it down gently with a flat spatula, such as a pancake turner, taking care not to puncture it. Remove the foil but don't throw it away; you may need it again.
- If using a frozen crust: Follow the instructions for blind-baking on the package.
- After blind-baking the crust, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
- Make the Pumpkin Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, egg, egg yolks, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, and evaporated milk. Whisk until smooth, then pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
- Bake the pie for 50 to 60 minutes, until the filling is just set. It should look dry around the edges, but the center should jiggle just slightly if you nudge the pan. Keep a close eye on the pie as it bakes; if ever the crust looks like it's browning too quickly, tent the edges again with the foil strips. Let the pie cool on a rack (leave it on the baking sheet) to room temperature, a few hours. Slice or refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make Ahead: Pumpkin pie can be made one day ahead of time and refrigerated.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The dough can be made ahead, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. If you freeze it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. The pie can be frozen after baking for up to 1 month. After it is completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

CLASSIC PUMPKIN PIE WITH PIE CRUST TUTORIAL

Steps:
- Grate (using a cheese grater) a half stick (1/4 cup) of very chilled unsalted butter into a bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of very chilled shortening cut into cubes, and put the whole bowl in your freezer for 10 minutes.
- Add flour and salt, and cut the flour into your butter and shortening using a pastry cutter. Then add 2-3 tablespoons of ice cold water, one at a time. Use a rubber spatula to bring the dough together. You may need to get in their with your hands as well. Give the dough a few sprays with the spray bottle if the dough needs more moisture to come together.
- Wrap your dough with plastic, shape it into a round, flat disk. Refrigerate for at least four hours, or freeze until ready to use.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of flour onto a piece of parchment paper, dust the top of your dough with flour, and slowly roll the dough out.
- Transfer the dough to the pie plate (dough side down, parchment paper up), using the parchment paper underneath to lift it. Carefully peel away the parchment paper.
- Trim any excess dough around the edges (reserve for later), fold the crust under itself and then crimp the edges.
- Roll out reserved dough, and cut out leaf shape. Place pie crust and leaf decoration in the freezer to chill before filling.
- To make the filling, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice. I used my Blentec to just very briefly pulse (three one second pulses) the ingredients together. You definitely don't want to blend too much or you will incorporate air into the filling. Of course, it is fine to just whisk by hand too.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, and pour the pumpkin filling into your frozen, unbaked crust. Place your pie on the center rack of your oven, along with the leaf in a separate small baking pan. Remove the leaf from the oven when it is just turning golden brown around the edges, about five minutes. Bake your pumpkin pie for five more minutes on 425 degrees, and then turn the heat down to 350 degrees, and set your timer for 40 more minutes. Total cook time for the pie is 50 minutes.
- Allow your pie to cool at room temperature for an hour, and then refrigerate until ready to serve. Top the pie with your leaf decoration just before serving.

Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours before serving. Let stand at room temperature for 5 to 15 minutes before serving (if freezing longer, it may need to stand as long as 30 minutes at room temperature). Serve topped with warm Caramel-Pecan Sauce (see below) and additional piecrust (if desired).
- Caramel-Pecan Sauce: Combine butter, the 3/4 cup brown sugar, and whipping cream in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil. Boil at a moderately steady rate for 3 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat-proof bowl. Let caramel cool. Stir in pecans. Serve warm or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a store-bought pie crust that is made with butter. This will give your pie a flaky, golden crust.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
- Be sure to thaw the frozen pumpkin puree before using it. You can do this by placing it in the refrigerator overnight or by microwaving it on defrost for a few minutes.
- Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This pumpkin pie recipe is a classic fall dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. The combination of the sweet pumpkin filling and the flaky crust is simply irresistible. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive pie that will be the star of your holiday table.
