SPICED PUMPKIN PIE

Sprinkle a ring of chopped toasted walnuts around the edge of the pie before serving.


The one I made at Thanksgiving 2006


Made this one for a friend for Christmas - her favorite!

INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose GF flour (Sweet Rice Flour would work too)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups canned solid pack pumpkin
1/2 tablespoon dark molasses
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
4 large eggs
2/3 cup whipping cream
1 purchased frozen 9-inch pie crust or homemade crust*

*I used Karen Roberts Pie Crust Recipe

DIRECTIONS
Place baking sheet in oven and preheat to 450°F.
Whisk first 8 ingredients together in large bowl to blend.
Whisk in pumpkin, molasses and eggs, then cream.
Pour mixture into frozen crust or homemade crust.
Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°F and bake until sides puff and center is just set, about 40 - 50 minutes. Cool.

SUGGESTIONS

"Turn off oven after the time is up and leave pie to set for another 1/2 hour."
"If you're making your own crust, make sure the crust is frozen and dont use a glass pie pan - otherwise the bottom crust might be on the soggy side."
