Real Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
1 sugar pumpkin
1 9 inch crust pie
2 eggs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
12 oz evaporated milk

Directions
Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Place the halves cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with non-stick or lightly oiled aluminum foil. Bake them at 325 for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel and blend or puree in small batches until smooth. Increase oven temperature to 450 F.
In a large bowl, slightly beat eggs and add the remaining ingredients: brown sugar, flour, salt, 2 cups of the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and evaporated milk. Stir well after each addition.
Pour the mixture into the unbaked pastry shell. Place a strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning.
Bake the pie for 10 minutes at 450 F and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 F. Bake it for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove the strip of foil about 20 minutes before the pie is done so that the edge of the crust will be a light golden brown. Cool the pie and refrigerate it overnight for best flavor.

Thank you Mrs. Siggs!

How to make the Chantilly Whip Creme I used in the video:
This homemade whipped cream recipe uses 2 1/2 cups of chilled heavy cream, which is placed inside a col mixing bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of white sugar, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla (if you want a chantilly cream, which was invented in France during the 1800s). You make make whipped cream without the vanilla, but I think it adds a nice flavor.

Next, using a figure-8 motion with your hand, continually whisk to incorporate air into the cream, about 5 minutes. Or you can use a mixer.

I'm not crazy about pumpkin pie but my 10 yr old son likes it. I decided to try this to see if I would like it made with fresh pumpkin. It is delicious!

Awesome recipe! Thank you!
We tried it out tonight with regular pumpkins for the first time,
it worked wonderful!! Two medium to large pumpkins made enough puree' for 12 pies. Cooked perfectly delicious. The whipping cream link was also amazing! I'll use your method from now on!!

Hi! Today, I used your recipe to bake a pie with my two boys. After my preschooler's trip to the pumpkin patch, it was all he could talk about. I have never baked and your recipe made it super easy. The pie came out delicious! Needless to say, it's all gone. Thanks for sharing and keeping it simple.

This was amazing! Aussie girl here, never even tasted pumpkin pie before thought I'd make it for Halloween. Was fantastic and super easy.

My daughter & I used your recipe for making pumpkin pie and it turned out great. We are so happy that we now know how to make it, we'll be doing this from now on.

[barbarawilson]

I have used your recipe every fall for 6 years now. They always turn out great. Every year I search my youtube history for this video. I should write it down.

[crocketthill]

I just made two pies last night off of your recipe… And they turned out fantastic. Thank you.

[mahouvenus]

[AXHEJAZ]

You are amazing! I just made the pie and it's ten times more delicious than store bought pumpkin pie and the advantage is there are no unknown chemicals in the fresh baked pie. Thank you so much! God Bless you.

[domainadmin]

Well done Andy. Cooked this for my family and it turned out great.

[tabithathomas]

Wow this is the BEST pumpkin pie I have ever made. I made two, my husband and I are bringing one over his brother's tonight. I sampled a piece of the other pie and all I can say is yummy.... so delicious. Thank You! I cant wait for everyone to have it for desert.

[franknfurr]

I made this recipe last night for the first time using a cheese pumpkin - it was amazing!, and I thought I knew what pumpkin pie was all about. Thanks Andy!

[eilidpatt]

I made this pie this morning and it is the best pumpkin pie I have ever had.

[pinkturtle]

Trying this today. Labor intensive - always used puree not pie filling but worth a shot. One sugar pumpkin made one deep dish pie with recipe. Now the wait begins.

I’m gonna try this!

Edit: THANK YOU! This was fantastic. You were so thorough and explained it at a perfect pace giving me just enough time to pause and do what I needed to do. My family loves it. Thought it would be hard, and it wasn’t! And you’ve earned a new subscriber!
