A classic fall dessert featuring a creamy, spiced pumpkin filling nestled in a flaky homemade crust. This fresh pumpkin pie is perfect for holidays or cozy baking days.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (½ cup) cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 3–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon allspice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.
  2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  3. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  4. Form dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch pie pan.
  6. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and place into the pie pan, crimping the edges.
  7. Chill the crust in the pan for 20 minutes.
  8. Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dry rice; bake for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove weights and parchment; set crust aside to cool slightly.
  10. In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and salt.
  11. Add eggs and whisk until smooth.
  12. Stir in pumpkin puree, then gradually whisk in evaporated milk in three parts.
  13. Pour filling into crust and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
  14. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 40 minutes.
  15. Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh roasted sugar pumpkin for a deeper flavor.
  • Do not skip chilling the crust to prevent shrinking.
  • Blind baking helps prevent a soggy bottom.
  • Use pumpkin pie spice (1½ teaspoons) as a shortcut for individual spices.
  • The pie is done when the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
