Making homemade pumpkin pie does not need to be complicated.  If you are feeling adventurous, you can use fresh pumpkin.  But for the rest of us, canned pumpkin will do just fine (tip you will find this in the baking isle).   Now if you are in a time crunch you can buy a pre-made pie crust, but I do encourage you to make your own and you can find step by step instructions with lots of photos for a tasty homemade pie crust recipe.

Directions For Homemade Pumpkin Pie

First make the pie pastry and line a 9 inch pie pan with the pie pastry. Prick the pastry with a fork.The Best Ever Homemade Pumpkin Pie Recipe with homemade crust via Littlemisskate.ca

Pumpkin pie is a custard filled pie so the pie crust needs to be partially baked before being filled. To partially bake the pastry you will need to press aluminum foil onto the pastry and weigh it down with something like dried beans or rice. This will prevent the crust from falling into the pan.

Put it back in the oven and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 45 minutes. If you bake it too long the filling will begin to split. You can remove the pie from the oven when the filling has started to firm up, it will still jiggle slightly in the center.

This recipe always makes too much filling for one pie. If you are only making one pie use this recipe and store the remaining filling for later. You can freeze it for a future recipe or use it to make anything calling for pumpkin pie filling.
