    This is the BEST pumpkin pie recipe! Thanksgiving would not be complete without pumpkin pie.

    Maple syrup was a huge part of my childhood, so I’ve added granulated maple sugar to mashed pumpkin and whipping up a homemade pie. You can make this classic pumpkin pie recipe in either a glass pie dish or a dual-handle cast iron pie pan.

    I’m loving Lodge’s new cast iron pie pan!

    What you’ll need

    • Pumpkin Puree – Use canned or cooked pumpkin.
    • Sugar – Sweetens the pumpkin perfectly.
    • Maple Sugar – A natural sweetener that adds a hint of maple to this recipe.
    • Evaporated Milk – Gives this pumpkin pie a creaminess.
    • Spices – I prefer to mix my own spices instead of using pumpkin pie spice.

    How to make Pumpkin Pie

    ingredients for pumpkin pie in ceramic bowl, red electric hand mixer to right.

    Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs slightly. Then use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to mix together the remaining ingredients together, until smooth. Set aside.

    Step 2: Using either homemade or store-bought pie dough, place one round in the bottom of a 9 ½-inch pie plate.

    Roll under the crust and pinch your crust, using your fingers. You want the pie crust to be over the edge of the pie dish, as often times when it bakes, it sinks in a bit.

    Step 3: Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie shell. If desired, add decorative pie dough leaves on the top of the pie filing.

    Carefully brush the edge of the pie crust with an egg wash. (Egg wash is just one large egg, 1 teaspoon of water, and a pinch of salt whisked together)

    (Note: if using a cast iron skillet, spray the bottom of the skillet with baking spray prior to putting the pie crust in it)

    Step 4: Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick when inserted in the center comes out clean.
