PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE
For such a seemingly simple dessert, pumpkin pie can be tricky to make. This recipe promises a tender, flaky crust and gently spiced pumpkin filling that won't crack as it cools.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- If using a homemade crust: Cover the chilled crust with a piece of parchment paper. Fill the crust about three-quarters full with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Take the crust out of the oven; remove the parchment paper and beans/pie weights and tent the edges with a few strips of foil folded in half lengthwise (this will protect the edges from getting too dark). Bake for another 20 minutes, until the dough is dry and golden. Don't worry if the bottom puffs up; just press it down gently with a flat spatula, such as a pancake turner, taking care not to puncture it. Remove the foil but don't throw it away; you may need it again.
- If using a frozen crust: Follow the instructions for blind-baking on the package.
- After blind-baking the crust, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
- Make the Pumpkin Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, egg, egg yolks, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, and evaporated milk. Whisk until smooth, then pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
- Bake the pie for 50 to 60 minutes, until the filling is just set. It should look dry around the edges, but the center should jiggle just slightly if you nudge the pan. Keep a close eye on the pie as it bakes; if ever the crust looks like it's browning too quickly, tent the edges again with the foil strips. Let the pie cool on a rack (leave it on the baking sheet) to room temperature, a few hours. Slice or refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make Ahead: Pumpkin pie can be made one day ahead of time and refrigerated.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The dough can be made ahead, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. If you freeze it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. The pie can be frozen after baking for up to 1 month. After it is completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

OLD FASHIONED PUMPKIN PIE
This old fashioned pumpkin pie is the best pumpkin pie recipe that I have ever had. I might be partial because it is a tried-and-true recipe that has been handed down through the generations. This is one of my favorite desserts.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or a food processor until the particles resemble the size of peas.
- Add the water 1 teaspoon at a time continuing to mix until the flour is moist.
- Gather the dough together and press into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out into a ball approximately 1-inch larger than the pie pan you will be using.
- Fit the pastry loosely into the pan, trying to avoid stretching the dough. Leaving ½-inch of an edge around the pie pan, trim off the excess.
- Fold the extra pastry back and under the edge. Use index finger on one hand and the thumb and index finger on the other side to create a high fluted pastry edge. Since this pastry will be filled with a filling, there is no need to dock the pie.
- The crust is ready to be filled with a filling. Continue with the pie filling recipe.
- Hint: if you prefer, you can use a refrigerated store-bought pastry crust.
- In a large bowl add the Pumpkin Puree, salt, milk, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk to combine. You can also use a blender or a food processor to quickly blend the ingredients together.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake for 45-55 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Until the custard is set around the edges and the center jiggles just slightly. Hint: If you want to keep your oven clean, place the pie pan on a baking sheet. It will catch any spillage.
- Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve immediately with whipping cream or refrigerate.

CLASSIC PUMPKIN PIE
To concentrate the flavor of pumpkin pie, the pumpkin flesh is roasted before being pureed. Fresh whipped cream is a cool counterpoint to the filling's ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If using fresh pumpkin, roast pumpkin, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet until soft, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely. Roasted pumpkin can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.
- Reserve 1/4 of the dough for making leaf decorations. Turn out the remaining dough onto a lightly floured work surface; divide in half. Roll out each half into a 14-inch round. Fit rounds into two 10-inch pie plates; crimp edges as desired. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Roll out reserved dough to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet, and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Using a leaf-shape cookie cutter or a paring knife, cut leaves from dough. Freeze until cold, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 egg and heavy cream in a small bowl; set aside. Brush edges of pie shells with a wet pastry brush; arrange leaves around edges, pressing to adhere. Brush leaves with egg wash. Cut 2 large circles of parchment; fit into pie shells, extending above edges. Fill with pie weights. Freeze until cold, about 10 minutes.
- Bake pie shells 10 minutes. Remove weights and parchment; bake 5 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- If using fresh pumpkin, discard seeds. Scoop out flesh using a large spoon; transfer to a food processor. Process until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer pumpkin to a large bowl. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, nutmeg, remaining 6 eggs, and evaporated milk; whisk until combined.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place pies on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide pumpkin mixture evenly between shells. Bake until all but centers are set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into wedges, and serve with whipped cream.
PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE
Canned pumpkin purée is quick and easy to use. Don't substitute fresh pumpkin purée in this pie; it will be too watery.

TRADITIONAL PUMPKIN PIE
Usually I prepare two different desserts for our holiday dinner, but one of them must be pumpkin pie-otherwise, it just wouldn't seem like Thanksgiving. My version calls for more eggs than most, making this pie's pumpkin custard fillings especially rich-tasting. -Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin
