Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

Method

Pumpkin Pie Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim the excess, and crimp the edges.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Pie

    Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
