Double Vanilla Pumpkin Pie

It’s pumpkin time! Fall is here and Turkey Day is on its way!

When it comes to pie crusts, I like to make mine with a rustic look. When it comes to pumpkin pie filling, I like mine creamy, rich, and sweet. I will either use canned organic pumpkin OR I will roast and puree my own pumpkin for the filling to my pies.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups of Fresh Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 Can (12 ounces) of Evaporated Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Cup of Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Teaspoon each: Ground Cloves. Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 Unbaked Pie Crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450*
  2. In a large bowl combine: pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and spices. Mix well with a wire whisk and pour into pie shell.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn oven temperature down to 350* and bake for an additional 40 minutes (or until knife inserted into center comes out clean)

Tip

To prevent a burnt crust, place a metal crust ring over the exposed crust before baking. If you do not have one, you can use aluminum foil.
