Homemade Pumpkin Pie
Homemade Pumpkin PieTHIS MONTH FOR MY LITTLE GET TOGETHER WITH MY THREE BLOGGER FRIENDS WE DECIDED TO CELEBRATE THIS MONTH WITH PIES.
It’s been quite a while since I made a Pumpkin Pie, years in fact. I was always the pie maker in the family when it came to get togethers.
So every Thanksgiving I would make this delicious Pumpkin Pie and it was one of everyone’s favourite. Back then I served the pie with a simple whipped cream and a classic pie dough.
But this time I decided my Brown Sugar Pie Dough and a little Maple Syrup Whipped Cream could only make it better!

How to make Pumpkin Pie
Beat eggs lightly and add the Pumpkin Puree, you can either make your own Puree or buy canned, just make sure it is only pumpkin with no additions.
Mix in the cream, make sure it’s whole or whipping cream, the brown sugar, salt and pumpkin spice. Then pour it into the unbaked pie crust and bake.
Serve it with a dollop or two of Whipped Cream.
Pumpkin Pie can also be frozen, just bake let it cool, then wrap it well and freeze for up to a month.
Be sure to thaw the Pie in the fridge to keep the filling from running which can cause a soggy crust.
I happened to bring a small container of Pumpkin Spice back with me from Toronto on my last visit but you can easily make your own.
How to Make Homemade Pumpkin Spice
Mix together 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (this can be double or tripled if you want).
Make sure to keep it in an air tight container in a dry area. It will keep for up to 6 months.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie with Maple Whipped Cream
Ingredients
- 1 Brown Sugar Pie crust
PUMPKIN PIE FILLING
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (just pumpkin no additives)
- 1 1/4 cup whole / whipping cream
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM
- 1 1/4 cups whole / whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (real maple syrup not pancake syrup)
Instructions
- Make the Brown Sugar Pie Crust**.
PUMPKIN PIE FILLING
- While the dough is chilling make the filling. In a large bowl beat eggs slightly on medium speed, then add the pumpkin, cream, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Beat to combine.
- Pre-heat oven to 425F (220C), lightly grease and flour a 9 inch pie dish.
- Roll the dough (half the recipe) to 1/8" thickness and carefully fit it into the prepared pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork, and add the pumpkin pie filling.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425F then lower the temperature to 350F (180C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes. Use the pointed tip of a knife to check for doneness (when it comes out clean the pie is done). Let cool completely before topping with Maple Whipped Cream. Enjoy.
MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM
- In a medium bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then slowly add the maple syrup and continue to beat until stiff.
**This pie used half the recipe, the remaining dough can be frozen for future use.
