Equipment

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ c. flour
  • 1/3 c. vegetable oil
  • ¼ c. milk
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Pumpkin Pie Filling:

  • 3/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 15 oz. can Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin
  • 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the crust. Mix with a fork until combined.
  • Sprinkle the counter with flour and roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Carefully pick up the crust, using the rolling pin, and gently push into the bottom and the sides of a 9 inch pie pan.
  • Crimp the edges, place a piece of parchment paper into the pan on top of the crust, fill the crust with dried beans or pie weights, then bake for 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, turn the heat on the oven up to 425 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl combine the sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In another large bowl beat the eggs. Stir the pumpkin into the eggs and then add the sugar mixture.
  • Slowly stir in the evaporated milk.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking for 40-45 minutes or until a knife comes cleanly out of the center. Cool on a wire rack.
