Five All-Time Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipes

September 30, 2017 By Paula 16 Comments

All-Time Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipes

It’s hard to imagine an American Thanksgiving table without the ubiquitous orange-crusted custard finishing off the feast. Early American settlers of Plimoth Plantation (1620-1692), the first permanent European settlement in southern New England, might have made pumpkin pies more like a savory soup and served in a pumpkin than a sweet custard in a crust. Or by filling a hollowed-out pumpkin with different combinations of milk, honey, apples, sugar, and spices. Then, baking them in hot ashes.

THE ORIGINAL PUMPKIN PIE – THE WAY THE PILGRIMS MADE IT

Today the Pumpkin Pie is more than just an open-faced custard-based pie with just a bottom shortcrust (Save with these no-fail Easy Pie Crust Recipes) and no top crust. It is the favorite pie of Americans young and old. Having a love affair with this delectable dessert for more than fifty years we’ve compiled a few of our favorite pumpkin pie recipes. Plus some that sound so delicious that we will be trying them this year for our holiday gatherings.

All-Time Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipes: ESTHER SHUTTLEWORTH'S PUMPKREAM PIE

MOTHER’s All-Time Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This pumpkin pie recipe by Esther Shuttleworth, mother of the founder of the Mother Earth News publication, has received much praise from their palate-pleased readers. They first revealed Mrs. Shuttleworth’s secret in issue 41’s foldout, and I just had to share this wonderful recipe with you here. 

ESTHER SHUTTLEWORTH’S PUMPKREAM PIE

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar (this would be difficult to substitute for . . . and, after all, it’s a holiday!)
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cloves (optional)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of pumpkin (canned, or fresh and cooked till thick)
  • 1 cup of thick sweet whipping cream
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust 

Directions

Combine all the dry ingredients, and beat in the two eggs till the mixture is fluffy. Stir in the pumpkin and then the whipping cream. When the filling is thoroughly blended, pour it into an 8 inch (1-1/4 inch-deep) pastry-lined pie pan, and bake it at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake the pie for approximately 30 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the filling comes out clean. While in the oven, the “pumpkream” will rise, then fall somewhat and — when it’s nearly done — develop little “good pie” cracks along the edges. “Most pumpkin pies are too spicy and ‘pumpkiny’ for my family,” says Mrs. Shuttleworth, “but they love this one!”

All-Time Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipes: Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie

Brown Family’s Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This pumpkin pie recipe that we found on All Recipes has a walnut streusel topping that is optional. Made from scratch, this pumpkin pie is fabulous. With lots of wonderful spices, a rich, creamy filling, and a sensational cinnamon/brown sugar streusel topping. Served with whipped topping or ice cream, it’s the perfect finish to your Thanksgiving feast. You can’t go wrong with this pumpkin pie! 

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Streusel Topping

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, chilled
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour filling into pie shell.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Blend in the cold butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Mix in the chopped nuts. Sprinkle the topping over the pie.
  4. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake an additional 40 minutes, or until set.
