Perfect Pumpkin Pie
- 1 recipe Small-Batch All-Purpose Buttery Pastry Dough, chilled
- 2 cups (500 mL) pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (5 mL) ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) whipping (35%) cream
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) pure maple syrup
- 9-inch (23 cm) deep-dish glass pie plate, greased
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C)
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a circle large enough to fit pie plate, dusting work surface and dough as necessary to keep the dough from sticking (or roll between 2 pieces of waxed or parchment paper).
- Press dough into prepared pie plate, crimping edge to form a high border.
- Line crust with a double layer of foil and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking just until edge is light golden.
- Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Filling: In a food processor fitted with metal blade, puree pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg until smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time, pulsing briefly after each addition.
- Add cream and maple syrup, pulsing just until smooth.
- Pour filling into warm crust and bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until puffed around edge and firm in the center.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate pie until ready to serve.
