Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes two 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 sugar pumpkin (about 4 pounds), halved, or 3 cups solid-pack canned pumpkin (not pumpkin-pie filling)
1 1/2 recipes Pate Brisee for Pumpkin Pie, divide dough into 3 disks
All-purpose flour, for dusting
7 large eggs
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups evaporated milk
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If using fresh pumpkin, roast it, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet until soft, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely. (Roasted pumpkin can be refrigerated, in an airtight container, overnight.) Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Reserve 1 disk of dough for making leaf decorations. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining disks into 14-inch rounds. Fit rounds into two 10-inch pie plates; trim edges, leaving 1/2-inch overhangs. Fold edges under, and press to seal. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Roll out reserved disk to a 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet, and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Using a small (about 1 inch) leaf-shape cookie cutter or a paring knife, cut leaves from dough. Freeze until cold, about 15 minutes.
  • Brush edges of pie shells with a damp pastry brush; arrange leaves around edges, pressing to adhere. Whisk 1 egg and cream in a small bowl. Brush leaves with egg wash. Cut 2 large circles of parchment; fit into pie shells, extending above edges. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake pie shells 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment; bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks.
  • If using fresh pumpkin, discard seeds. Scoop out flesh, using a large spoon, into a food processor. Process until smooth, about 1 minute. Measure out 3 cups, and transfer pumpkin to a large bowl (reserve any remaining for another use; if using canned pumpkin, add that to the bowl instead). Add brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, nutmeg, remaining 6 eggs, and evaporated milk; whisk until combined.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place pie shells on rimmed baking sheets. Divide pumpkin mixture evenly between shells. Bake until all but centers are set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let pies cool completely on wire racks. Cut into wedges, and serve with whipped cream.

Provided by Beth Sigworth

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 14h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 sugar pumpkin
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
2 eggs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Cut pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with lightly oiled aluminum foil. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Either mash, or puree in small batches in a blender. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C.)
  • In a large bowl, slightly beat eggs. Add brown sugar, flour, salt, 2 cups of the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and evaporated milk. Stir well after each addition.
  • Pour mixture into the unbaked pastry shell. Place a strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning.

Bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove the strip of foil about 20 minutes before the pie is done so that the edge of the crust will be a light golden brown. Cool pie, and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

FROM SCRATCH PUMPKIN PIE



From Scratch Pumpkin Pie image

Nancy Fuller's pumpkin pie from scratch from Food Network doesn't call for canned pumpkin, but rather a roasted sugar pumpkin.

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     dessert

Time 3h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium sugar pumpkin (about 3 pounds)
Canola oil, for oiling pumpkin
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (11 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the stem from the pumpkin and scrape out the insides, discarding the seeds. Cut the pumpkin in half and lay the pieces cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Rub canola oil all over the skin and bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let cool.
  • For the easy pie crust: While the pumpkin is cooking, make the crust. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the butter and work into the dough with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in just enough cold water (4 to 5 tablespoons) with a fork just until the flour is moistened. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap one ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
  • Roll out the remaining dough ball on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold the overhangs under and crimp decoratively. Pierce the dough all over with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Line the crust with foil, fill with dried beans or pie weights and bake until the sides are set, about 12 minutes. Remove the foil and beans. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • For the filling: Scoop out the pulp from the roasted pumpkin and puree in a food processor until smooth (you should have about 4 cups). Add the condensed milk, cream, cornstarch, molasses, canola oil, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs and combine thoroughly.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and bake until the filling is set in the center, about 1 hour. Transfer the pie to a rack and cool for 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Fresh Pumpkin Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: premade pie crust, sugar pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, kosher salt, vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, large eggs, large egg yolk, half & half, egg wash

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 premade pie crust, rolled out to ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick

¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar

  • Pour the filling into the prebaked crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and continue to bake for 30-35 minutes more, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
  • Let cool at room temp for at least 2 hours, or in the fridge overnight
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

BROWN-SUGAR PUMPKIN PIE



Brown-Sugar Pumpkin Pie image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 8-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 recipe Pate Brisee (Pie Dough)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 cups homemade Pumpkin Puree, or 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and roll pastry dough into a 12-inch circle. Line an 8-inch pie plate with pastry, and trim pastry so it's even with edge of plate. Decorate edge with leaf shapes cut from excess pastry. Chill.
  • In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, cream, sugar, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Whisk until well blended. Pour into chilled pastry shell. Bake until crust is golden brown, and custard is set, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe sugar pumpkin. A ripe pumpkin will have a deep orange color and be heavy for its size. Avoid pumpkins with bruises or soft spots.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin will bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A homemade pie crust is always best, but you can also use a store-bought crust if you're short on time.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and continue baking until the pie is set. This will help the pie to brown evenly and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Fresh sugar pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can make a perfect pumpkin pie that will be enjoyed by everyone at your table.
