Pumpkin pie is infused with a delicious maple flavor and topped with a leaf-lattice piecrust. You will need a 2-inch leaf cutter for this recipe. The leaf crust is very delicate, so take extra care when placing it on top of the pie.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

Pate Brisee
3 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges flush with rim. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut a 13-inch round of parchment, and place on top of chilled piecrust. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Bake piecrust for 10 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, and continue to bake until barely golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • On a piece of lightly floured parchment, roll out remaining disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer parchment with dough to an inverted baking sheet (this will make it easier to slide it onto pie). Top with an inverted 9-inch pie plate or a cake ring, and gently press to make a light indentation (this will be your guide for cutting the leaf lattice to fit the pie). Using a 2-inch leaf cutter, cut a pattern out of the round, spacing leaves 1 inch apart and leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge. Transfer leaves to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife or a pizza cutter, cut out the round, leaving an additional 1/2 inch of dough beyond the marked circle. Place in refrigerator while you etch the leaves.
  • Using a paring knife, etch veins in each leaf. To make egg wash, whisk together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cream. in a small bowl. Remove leaf lattice from refrigerator, and lightly brush with egg wash. Arrange leaves around edge of lattice, making sure they do not extend over edge or they will brown too quickly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Bake lattice on inverted baking sheet until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. The thin spaces between the leaves will brown before the rest of the crust; tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. Let cool.
  • Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, flour, salt, and spices. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs, and remaining 3/4 cup cream. Whisk in flour mixture.
  • Place partially baked piecrust on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour filling into crust. Bake until slightly puffed and almost set (it should jiggle slightly when shaken gently), 35 to 40 minutes. Remove pie from oven. Using one or two large spatulas, place leaf lattice onto pie. Center it carefully; once lattice has been placed, it cannot be adjusted without smearing the filling. Bake until all but the center of the pie is set, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • For the Perfect Crust: Use a food processor or pastry blender to combine the flour, salt, and sugar. This will help to create a light and flaky crust.
  • Keep the Butter Cold: When you add the butter to the flour mixture, make sure it is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help to prevent the gluten in the flour from developing, which can make the crust tough.
  • Chill the Dough: Before rolling out the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help to make the dough easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the Crust Blind: Before filling the pie crust, bake it for 15 minutes. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use Fresh Pumpkin: For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor.
  • Add Spices: Pumpkin pie is traditionally flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add other spices, such as allspice or cardamom, to taste.
  • Don't Overmix the Filling: When you mix the filling ingredients together, be careful not to overmix them. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
  • Bake the Pie at a Low Temperature: Pumpkin pie is best baked at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) for a long period of time. This will help to prevent the pie from cracking.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely: Before serving, let the pie cool completely. This will help the filling to set and make the pie easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Jen's Maple Pumpkin Pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and maple flavor, this pie is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give this recipe a try!
