Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

pre-baked and cooled 9" pie crust
1 1/2 pound carrots
2 tablespoon butter (softened)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup half and half
1 tablespoon flour

Steps:

  • Peel and chop carrots.
  • Place carrots in large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until carrots are tender, about 25 - 30 minutes.
  • Drain water. Return carrots to pot. Cook carrots over low heat, stirring constantly, for a few minutes, to steam off all excess water.
  • Puree carrots and butter until absolutely smooth. You can do this in a food processor, blender, food mill or with a ricer.
  • I use my food processor. After the carrots are smooth, mix in sugars, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ginger, vanilla, half & half and flour until well combined.
  • Pour mixture into prebaked & cooled 9" pie crust.
  • Bake at 350° for 50 - 60 minutes or pie is set and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream and enjoy :)

GRANDMA ROSE'S CARROT PIE



Grandma Rose's Carrot Pie image

My Grandma use to make this every Thanksgiving and Christmas and now every since she passed years ago I've been the one to make it in my family. This pie is a lot like pumpkin pie (which i don't really like )but not it's not so rich. You will never no its made from carrots.

Categories     Pies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c carrot pulp (see below on how to make it)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c evaporated milk
1 dash(es) salt

Steps:

  • 1. To make carrot pulp : Peel and slice 3-4 lb. of carrots ; (I have used the baby carrots and don't have to peel or slice ) put carrots in a kettle with enough water to just be level with the carrots ; Add 2 Teas. baking soda ; it prevents too much foaming when cooking.
  • 2. Boil carrots until tender ; Drain.
  • 3. Run carrots through a food sieve (cone) to make the pulp. This will remove any bad pulp you don't want ; like missed peel and the stringy texture in the carrots.
  • 4. Mix up all the above ingredients in a large bowl.
  • 5. Pour into a prepared raw pie crust.
  • 6. Bake on center rack in a pre-heated oven @ 350 deg. for 45-60 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean when inserted in the center . Cooking time varies depending on your oven. Let pie completely cool before serving.
  • 7. Note: I double this recipe and get 3 pies when using 9" deep dish frozen pie crusts. I cooked up 15 pounds of baby carrots and got 12 pies out of all the pulp.

CINNAMON-CARROT PIE



Cinnamon-Carrot Pie image

This recipe is from the food insert in my local newspaper; it sounded so good I didn't want to lose it! It is from a woman named Judith Ogden Larsen, who has a pie shop in Eustis, Nebraska, says "this pretty orange pie is better than pumpkin pie ever thought about being!" I think the addition of raisins might be nice in this....

CARROT PIE

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into small bits
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 -4 tablespoons ice water
1 egg
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
7 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 lbs carrots, cleaned and grated
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup freshly cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups grated swiss cheese
1 egg, beaten with
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • For pastry: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat 2 tblsps ice water, egg and vinegar to blend. Mix into flour just until dough comes together into a ball. If dough seems too dry, add up to 2 tblsps more water, a few drops at a time. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • For filling: Melt 4 tblsps butter in small skillet over low heat. Add onion, cover and cook gently until soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  • Melt remaining 3 tblsps butter in same skillet over low heat. Add carrots, increase heat to high and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add water, cover and cook until carrots are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes (if carrots are tender and there is still liquid, drain).
  • Puree onions and carrots in processor with eggs, yolks, salt, allspice and pepper until smooth. Turn into bowl and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • To assemble: Preheat oven to 340°F Grease 5 ½ x 9 ½ inch loaf pan (or 4 ½ x 11 inches).
  • Roll dough out on lightly-floured surface to thickness of ¼ inch. Cut out 12 x 16 inch rectangle. Drape dough loosely in pan. Press into corners gently with fingers. Trim dough flush with top of pan. Roll scraps out to ¼ inch thick. Cut out rectangle large enough to cover top of pan.
  • Stir rice and cheese into carrot mixture. Spoon into prepared pan. Brush edge of crust with glaze. Cover with dough, pressing to seal. Roll remaining scraps out. Cut out dough decorations and stick them on with the egg glaze. Brush entire pie with glaze. Make 6 steam vents. Bake until lightly-browned, about 1 ½ hours. Cool in pan. Remove carefully. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Grate the carrots finely and squeeze out any excess moisture. This will help prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them to the pie. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar. This will give the pie a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough and crumbly.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon carrot pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of carrots, walnuts, and cinnamon creates a warm and inviting flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply looking for a sweet treat, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something special, give this cinnamon carrot pie a try.
