Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • 1½ cups brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 30 oz canned pumpkin puree, or two 15 oz cans
  • 24 oz evaporated milk, or two 12 oz cans
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Butter Pie Crust

  • Add flour and salt to food processor, pulse a few times.
  • Add cold cubed butter and pulse until course crumbs appear.
  • Add egg and 4 tablespoons of cold water, pulse until it starts to form a dry crumbly dough.
  • Add another 2 tablespoons of water to form a slightly crumbly dough that is clumping together. If needed add another 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time to form the dough.
  • Dump out dough on and form into 2 discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • On a floured surface, roll out dough starting from the center of the disc, into a 12 inch circle about ⅛ inch thick.
  • Place dough in pie plate. Trim, roll or crimp edges. Place crusts on baking sheet and chill crust until ready to use.

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until smooth.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk together until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Evenly divide the filling between the 2 pie crusts.
  • Place pies on middle rack in oven.
  • Bake pies for 15 minutes, then REDUCE heat to 350°F and bake for 50-60 minutes until filling is set and crust is a deep golden brown.
  • Let cool to room temperature before storing in fridge.
