Sweet pumpkin pie is a classic, comforting dessert that's perfect for the fall season. With its rich and spiced filling, it offers a delightful blend of pumpkin, maple, and warm spices, all embraced by a tender crust. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of pumpkin with the creamy texture of sour cream and the depth of brown sugar to make a pie that's both delicious and memorable.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If you are using fresh pumpkin, ensure it is cooked and pureed. If using canned pumpkin, ensure it is not pumpkin pie filling.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 4 cups of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of light sour cream, and 1 cup of brown sugar. Mix well until smooth.
4. Add Eggs and Syrup:
- Beat the 4 eggs in a separate bowl and then add them to the pumpkin mixture. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, ensuring everything is fully mixed.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- If using a pre-made pie crust, place it into a 9-inch pie pan. If you prefer to make your own crust, roll it out and fit it into the pan. Crimp the edges as desired.
7. Fill the Pie Crust:
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake the Pie:
- Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Pie:
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This allows the filling to firm up properly.
- Once cooled, slice and serve your sweet pumpkin pie. Enjoy it plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream if desired!
Tips:
- For a smoother filling, make sure to puree the pumpkin thoroughly before mixing it with other ingredients.
- Pre-bake your pie crust for about 10 minutes to ensure it stays crispy and doesn't get soggy when the filling is added.
- If you like your pie extra spicy, feel free to add a bit more cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg to taste.
- To prevent cracks on the pie surface, allow it to cool slowly in the oven with the door slightly ajar after baking.
- Serve your sweet pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of comfort and flavor.
By following these instructions and tips, you can create a sweet pumpkin pie that's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. The blend of spices and the creamy pumpkin filling will leave everyone asking for seconds. Enjoy your homemade sweet pumpkin pie, and savor every bite of this seasonal treat.
