For the pie:
- 2 eggs
- 15 oz. can pumpkin
- ¾ cup natural sugar
- 2½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tsp. ginger
- ½ tsp. cloves
- ¼ tsp. allspice
- 1⅔ cup milk
- 1 9" pie shell
For the homemade pie crust:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup butter or less
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbs. + 1 tsp. water
For the homemade whipped topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbs. powdered sugar
- 1-2 tsp. vanilla extract
For the pie:
Beat the eggs with a whisk.
Add the sugar and then pumpkin, mixing well.
Add the spices and mix until the spices are well distributed.
Add the milk and mix.
Pour the great smelling mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
Bake the pie at 425° for 15 minutes.
Turn the heat down to 350° and bake another 45-50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
For the homemade pie crust:
I always use butter in my crusts and I soften it a bit.
Notice that you’ll use a bit less than ½ cup.
I use about 1 Tbs. less.
The basic directions are to cut the butter into the flour and salt.
Add the water and stir with a fork until it forms a ball.
Roll it out and put it in the pie pan.
For the homemade whipped topping:
Place the sugar into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, or use a hand mixer and add the whipping cream.
Mix with electric mixer just until the cream reaches stiff peaks.
Add in vanilla, and gently mix in.
