Easy Maple Pumpkin Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing filling., In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; beat until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°. Bake 45-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and top of pie is set (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary). Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight or until set., In a small bowl, beat the cream, confectioners' sugar, syrup and pumpkin pie spice until stiff peaks form. Pipe or dollop onto pie. Sprinkle with pecans if desired.

Steps:

• To make the crust, in a medium bowl, stir together flours, sugar, and salt until combined. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Stir in vinegar and ice water until mixture just comes together (add more water if necessary). Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 12-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate, making a fluted edge. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, milk, vanilla, and salt. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake about 50 minutes or until set, checking pie after 30 minutes and tenting edges if browning too quickly. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool for an hour before transferring to refrigerator to cool completely.
• To serve, in a small bowl stir together sour cream and sugar to taste. Serve pie with a dollop of cream, if desired.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges flush with rim. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut a 13-inch round of parchment, and place on top of chilled piecrust. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Bake piecrust for 10 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, and continue to bake until barely golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• On a piece of lightly floured parchment, roll out remaining disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer parchment with dough to an inverted baking sheet (this will make it easier to slide it onto pie). Top with an inverted 9-inch pie plate or a cake ring, and gently press to make a light indentation (this will be your guide for cutting the leaf lattice to fit the pie). Using a 2-inch leaf cutter, cut a pattern out of the round, spacing leaves 1 inch apart and leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge. Transfer leaves to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife or a pizza cutter, cut out the round, leaving an additional 1/2 inch of dough beyond the marked circle. Place in refrigerator while you etch the leaves.
• Using a paring knife, etch veins in each leaf. To make egg wash, whisk together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cream. in a small bowl. Remove leaf lattice from refrigerator, and lightly brush with egg wash. Arrange leaves around edge of lattice, making sure they do not extend over edge or they will brown too quickly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Bake lattice on inverted baking sheet until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. The thin spaces between the leaves will brown before the rest of the crust; tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. Let cool.
• Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, flour, salt, and spices. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs, and remaining 3/4 cup cream. Whisk in flour mixture.
• Place partially baked piecrust on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour filling into crust. Bake until slightly puffed and almost set (it should jiggle slightly when shaken gently), 35 to 40 minutes. Remove pie from oven. Using one or two large spatulas, place leaf lattice onto pie. Center it carefully; once lattice has been placed, it cannot be adjusted without smearing the filling. Bake until all but the center of the pie is set, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes or until easy to handle. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients., On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 5-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. Pour filling into crust., Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place pumpkin halves, cut-side down, on prepared baking sheet.
• Roast pumpkin in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle, at least 15 minutes. Remove seeds from pumpkin and discard. Scoop pumpkin flesh into a food processor and blend until smooth. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• While pumpkin is roasting, roll out pie dough to fit in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp edges to form a border. Refrigerate dough until chilled, at least 45 minutes.
• Line chilled pie dough with 2 sheets of aluminum foil and pour pie weights into the foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set on the sides and lightly golden on the border, about 25 minutes. Remove aluminum foil with pie weights. Whisk egg white and water together in a small bowl. Brush border of pie crust with egg white mixture and return to oven. Bake until bottom of the pie appears dry and set, about 10 minutes more. Remove crust from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Whisk 2 cups pumpkin puree, cream, eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a bowl until smooth. Pour pumpkin mixture into baked pie crust.
• Bake pie in the preheated oven until just set in the center, about 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin and maple syrup. Whisk in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and Cognac or brandy, mixing well. In a small bowl lightly beat the eggs and stir in the cream. Mix the egg and cream mixture with the pumpkin.
• Prick the pie crust all over the bottom with the tines of a fork. Pour the filling into the crust, put the pie tin on a flat baking sheet and bake on the lower level of the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 30 to 40 more minutes, until filling has set. Remove to a rack, and cool to warm or room temperature. Serve with whipped cream, creme fraiche, vanilla, caramel or rum raisin ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F (215˚C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt and stir until evenly mixed.
• Add the eggs, maple syrup, heavy cream, and vanilla. Slowly stir until evenly incorporated.
• Place the pie crust in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan and shape.
• Carefully pour pie filling into pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 425˚F (215˚C).
• Reduce heat to 350˚F (175˚C) and bake for 40 minutes.
• For the crumble, combine pecans, maple syrup, and salt. Stir until well combined.
• Place pecans on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350˚F (175˚C).
• Once cooled, crush the caramelized pecans in a plastic bag.
• Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to crushed pecans and top cooled pie.
• Enjoy!
