Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic® Cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Cardamom
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Ground Nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Ground Cloves
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 15 ounces (1 3⁄4 cups) pumpkin purée
- 1⁄2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic® Vanilla Extract
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8-inch) unbaked pie crust, recipe below
- Freshly whipped cream, for topping
Basic Butter Pie Crust:
- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1⁄4 cup ice water
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine spices and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir in eggs, then spice mixture. Stir in cream.
- Pour into 8-inch pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until center is set, about 90 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
- Serve topped with whipped cream.
Basic Butter Pie Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the water (without the ice!) a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. When you remove from refrigerator, allow at least 20 minutes for the dough to return to room temperature before using.
- Roll dough out to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Crimp or pinch edges as desired.
Chef Suggestions
- Use leftover pie crust dough to make leaf-shaped decorations for the top of the baked pie. Simply bake until lightly browned, then place on top of your cooled pie.
- For perfect consistency, bring all ingredients to room temperature and be careful not to over-mix.
