Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 12 ounces evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

To prepare the crust, combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim the edges, and crimp as desired. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 7

Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Then gradually stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla extract.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 11

Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy Grandma's Pumpkin Pie!
