- One pie dough recipe of either: Ultimate All Butter Pie Crust OR Grandma Rhea’s Pie Crust (Vegan)
Pie Filling:
- 2 cups of prepared fresh roasted pumpkin purée (Pumpkin Puree: cut 2 pie pumpkins in half and gut insides. Roast face down on lined baking sheet at 350 F for 1 hour, then, let cool on pan. Take out pumpkin flesh with a spoon and put in a blender and puree until smooth) *
- 2 tablespoons good quality butter, melted
- 3 large organic eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- In a stand mixer (may use an electric hand mixer) with the whisk attachment, mix the eggs and sugar until creamy. Add pumpkin, a pinch of salt, butter, cream and spices. Mix until well combined.
- Roll out pie dough and shape it into a pie dish. With a pastry brush, gently cover the edges of the crust with eggwash.
- Pour the prepared pie filling into the pie dish (if using decorative shapes, bake them separately on a sheet pan at 350 for 10 minutes until golden brown).
