Self Crusting Pumpkin Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch ceramic or glass pie dish with cooking spray.
• Put the pumpkin puree in a large bowl and add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt and eggs; whisk to combine. Add the half-and-half and whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
• Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie dish and set the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the pie on the baking sheet until the center is just barely set, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely, then serve topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with candied pecans.
• If not serving right away, lightly cover the cooled pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Place two racks in the oven: one in the lower third and one in the upper third. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lower oven rack and heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread butternut squash on it. Drizzle squash with 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream, sprinkle with granulated sugar and dot the top with butter. Roast on the upper rack, stirring once or twice, until squash is very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch metal pie pan. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. (This helps the crust hold its shape so the edges don't slump.)
• When the squash is soft, transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes (and up to a few hours). Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
• In a food processor or blender, purée the squash with the remaining cream until smooth. Add eggs, brown sugar, spices, bourbon and salt, and pulse to combine. The mixture should be very smooth.
• Pour mixture into the chilled pie shell. Carefully transfer pie to the hot baking sheet on the bottom rack. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 300 and continue to bake until the crust is golden and the center jiggles just slightly when shaken, 35 to 45 minutes longer. Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving. Pie can be baked up to 24 hours ahead of serving; do not refrigerate before serving.
