This easy pie looks like pumpkin but tastes like apple. This pie has a "secret" ingredient! If you'd like a little more punch to your pie, add two tablespoons of cocoa or chopped nuts.

OLD-FASHIONED PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, cinnamon, kosher salt, shortening, ice water, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, kosher salt, large eggs, canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, whipped cream

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup shortening, cubed
6 tablespoons ice water
1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, plus a pinch
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
15 oz canned pumpkin puree
1 cup evaporated milk, plus 2 tablespoons
whipped cream, or ice cream for serving

Steps:

  • Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut shortening into the flour until the shortening breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
  • Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir gentle until the dough starts to come together.
  • Dump the dough onto a work surface lined with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Shape dough into a disc and wrap tightly with the plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C)
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin and sugar-spice mix and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk until incorporated.
  • Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6 mm)-thick round. Keep the surface and rolling pin floured as needed so the dough doesn't stick. Transfer the dough to a 9½-inch pie pan (24 cm). Tuck the edges under and crimp. Note: The key to flaky pie crust is to handle it as little and as gently as possible. Handle it only as much as is absolutely necessary to mix, shape, and roll out.
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly.
  • Cool the pie on a wire rack for 2 hours.
  • Slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure your spices are fresh. Stale spices will not give your pie the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The classic spice blend for this pie includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, but you can also add in other spices like ginger, cardamom, or allspice.
  • 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.
  • Blind bake your pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake your pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let your pie cool completely before serving. This will give the flavors time to develop.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned spice pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting dessert, give this recipe a try.
