Pumpkin pie is a classic dessert that's especially popular during the fall and holiday seasons. With a rich, spiced pumpkin filling and a buttery, flaky crust, it’s a delicious treat that can warm the heart and soul. This recipe uses traditional ingredients such as pumpkin, maple syrup, brown sugar, and warming spices to create a flavorful and indulgent pie.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared pie plate, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and fold it under itself to create a neat edge. Crimp the edges if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Mix well.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs to the pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined.
- Add the cinnamon, minced garlic, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
- Once the pie has cooled to room temperature, slice and serve. It can also be chilled in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving for a firmer texture.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold when incorporating it into the flour to create a flaky crust.
- You can make the pastry dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to two days before using.
- To avoid a soggy crust, partially bake the crust (blind bake) before adding the pumpkin filling.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for a richer flavor, but canned pumpkin works perfectly well.
- Adding a little lemon juice can brighten up the pumpkin filling.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, neat pieces.
