Ingredients
For the crust, you will need:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- 3-4 tbsp ice water
For the filling, you will need:
- 1 can (15 oz) Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
- 1 can (12 fl oz) evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt for the crust. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt until smooth.
5. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before serving.
