Real butter in the homemade crust. Real pumpkin and cream in the homemade filling. We won't deny that it is a little more effort than buying one at the store. But it is well worth it!
You'll need...
  • Easy Homemade Pie Crust still in a pie plate (http://wp.me/p2NEfY-8A)
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch ground cloves
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin purée (http://wp.me/p2NEfY-2n)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
Here's what to do...
  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Beat eggs with the sugar
  3. Add spices and salt and mix.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin.
  5. Add your milk and cream and stir again.
  6. Warm the pumpkin mixture in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat, stirring constantly until it's steaming. Don't boil or you will end up with scrambled pumpkin eggs! It would still taste delicious in your pie, but would look a little weird!
  7. Put your pie plate with crust on a baking sheet. Carefully pour the hot pumpkin mixture into the crust (be sure you are pouring away from yourself - ask for help if the pot is too heavy.)
  8. Put the baking sheet with pie in the oven (careful!) and bake for 35 minutes. You'll know it's done when you wiggle the pie pan and the pumpkin mix still moves slightly, but doesn't look shiny-wet. You want it to still be moist.
  9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a baking rack. If your pie doesn't look 100% perfect don't worry! Each homemade pie is unique, and in the end people care more about how it tastes! And believe us, it tastes delicious!!
