Categories     Dessert

Time 4h55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Single Layer Pie Crust1
1 large egg
1 teaspoon milk
15 ounces canned pumpkin puree2
½ cup sour cream
8 ounces evaporated milk
1 cup dark brown sugar3
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place a large baking sheet in the oven while it's preheating.4
  • Add the prepared pie crust dough to a 9-inch pie dish.5
  • Trim and shape the edges of the pie crust as desired making sure to seal tightly along the edge.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk and use a pastry brush to coat the pie crust with the egg wash. Disgard excess egg wash. Set pie crust aside.
  • Add all of the filling ingredients to a blender and pulse for 60 seconds until smooth.6
  • Pour the blended filling into a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.7
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the pie pan on the baking sheet. Then pour the filling into the pie crust. Use a pie crust shield around the edge of your crust to prevent it from burning.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes and then REDUCE HEAT to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Gently, remove the pie crust shield after the first 15 minutes.8
  • Once cooked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely for about 3 to 4 hours before slicing.9

PUMPKIN PIE



Pumpkin Pie image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 1 pie or about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter (1 stick), diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Flour for rolling the dough
One 15-ounce can unsweetened pure pumpkin puree (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the dough by hand. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles yellow corn meal mixed with bean-sized bits of butter. (If the flour/butter mixture gets warm, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Add the egg and stir the dough together with a fork or by hand in the bowl. If the dough is dry, sprinkle up to a tablespoon more of cold water over the mixture.
  • Alternatively, make the dough in a food processor. With the machine fitted with the metal blade, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow corn meal mixed with bean-sized bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade, and bring the dough together by hand.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough with a rolling pin into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
  • Set separate racks in the center and lower third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift sides of the parchment paper to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Cool on a rack.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • While the pie shell is cooling make the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, half-and-half, spices, and salt until smooth. Return the pie shell to the baking sheet and pour in the filling.
  • Bake on the lower oven rack until the edges of the filling are set but the center is still slightly loose, about 50 to 60 minutes. (If the edges get very dark, cover them with aluminum foil.) Cool on a rack. Serve room temperature or slightly warm.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Pastry for a 10-inch one-crust pie, chilled
1 3/4 cups light cream (or 1 cup heavy cream and 3/4 cup milk)
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup packed, light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups solid-pack canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin puree
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out the pastry and line a 9-inch pie pan with it, making an extra-high, fluted rim. Lightly prick the bottom, line with foil and weight with pastry weights or dry beans. Bake 13 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees, remove the foil and weights, and bake 7 minutes longer. Remove from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees.
  • Place the cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat until little bubbles form around the edges. Set aside.
  • Beat the eggs lightly in a large bowl. Beat in the vanilla, sugar, salt, pepper, ginger, mace and nutmeg. Add the pumpkin and mix well. Gradually beat in the hot cream. Pour into the baked pie shell, place in the oven and bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 40 minutes longer, until the center no longer seems liquid when the pie is gently shaken.
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.

SELF-CRUSTING PUMPKIN PIE



Self-Crusting Pumpkin Pie image

The crust and filling of this pumpkin pie cook together to create a simply delicious dessert for your holiday table, no rolling, chilling or prebaking required. A sweet batter wraps over the edge of the filling and bakes into a golden-brown crust with a cake-like texture. The filling uses a pumpkin pie spice blend to cut down on the number of ingredients required without skimping on the warm flavor and aroma. Serve slices with a dollop of fresh sweetened whipped cream for extra richness and a beautiful presentation.

Categories     dessert

Time 7h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin purée
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a glass 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.
  • For the crust: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the half-and-half, egg and vanilla together in a measuring cup or small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and whisk just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and set aside while you make the pumpkin filling.
  • For the filling: Whisk the pumpkin purée, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice and salt together in a large bowl, preferably one with a pour spout, or in a very large glass measuring cup with a pour spout (see Cook's Note). Pour in the half-and-half and whisk until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.
  • Carefully pour the filling into the center of the pie dish over the crust batter. When all of the filling has been added there should be a 1 1/2- to 2-inch ring of batter still visible around the edges. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to slightly pull in around the edge where the crust batter and the filling meet so that the edges have a slightly fluted appearance.
  • Bake until the center of the pie is almost set but is still slightly wobbly and the crust is golden brown, 60 to 65 minutes. Cool the pie on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Serve sliced with a dollop of whipped cream if using.

SAVORY ROASTED PUMPKIN PIE



Savory Roasted Pumpkin Pie image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the crust:
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold unsalted butter
A few tablespoons cold water
For the filling:
2 small pie pumpkins
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium yellow onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup Jarlsburg, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese, grated
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt, pepper and nutmeg
2 tablespoons roasted pumpkin seeds

Steps:

  • For the crust, combine flour and salt in a small bowl. Using your fingers, pinch the butter (1/3 cup) into the flour and salt until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add water a little at a time until the mixture begins to clump together. Press the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and keep in the refrigerator as you turn your attention to the other ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Peel the pumpkins, discard the seeds and stringy innards, and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes. Put the pumpkin on a baking sheet or in a Pyrex pan and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at 450 degrees for 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter (2 tablespoons) with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Slice the onions and cook in the butter and olive oil, stirring frequently, for 45 minutes or until deep brown and fragrant.
  • Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and, on a floured surface, roll the dough into as thin a circle as possible. Fold the dough in half and then into quarters, transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, and carefully unfold it. Press the dough into the pie plate and trim away excess dough from the edges.
  • Remove the pumpkin from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees. Mix together the cooked pumpkin and onions, and carefully transfer this vegetable mixture into the pie crust. (You may find your pie crust overflowing with vegetables. In this case, remove some of the pumpkin-onion mixture and set it aside -- it makes a great snack or omelet filling.) Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the vegetables.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the pie crust. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top of the pie.
  • Bake the pie at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the eggs are firm, and the top of the pie is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

PUMPKIN PIE



Pumpkin Pie image

Categories     Mixer     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Pumpkin     Cinnamon     Clove     Nutmeg     Parade     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups canned or fresh pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon crystallized ginger
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (packed) light-brown sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 prepared pie shell (9-inch), chilled
Sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • 2. Process the pumpkin puree in a blender with the ginger and half-and-half until the ginger is smooth, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; whisk in the next eight ingredients until well blended. Reserve.
  • **3.**Place 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil, one on top of the other, directly on the surface of the pie crust. Bake the crust in the lower 2/3 of the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the foil; bake 5 minutes more. Remove shell from oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • **4.**Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean, about 45 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack. Serve dolloped with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are smaller and have sweeter, denser flesh than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Make sure the pumpkin puree is smooth: Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin until it is completely smooth, with no lumps.
  • Use a combination of spices: The classic pumpkin pie spice blend includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add other spices, such as cardamom, allspice, or mace.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to set the crust and prevent the pie from becoming runny.
  • Reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes: This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best pumpkin pie that is sure to impress your friends and family. Don't forget to experiment with different spices and toppings to create your own unique pumpkin pie recipe.
