Easy Pumpkin Pie Ingredients
- 1 (14.1 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 1/2 cups and 2 tablespoons of buttermilk (divided)
- 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
For garnish:
- homemade whipped cream
- freshly grated cinnamon
How to Make Pumpkin Pie
Step 1:
Take a pie plate and place the refrigerated pie crust on top. Pinch the sides just like a homemade crust. Line it with parchment paper and weigh it down with pie weights. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes.
Step 2:
Make the filling. In a bowl, add the pumpkin, sugar, salt, eggs, egg yolk, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Step 3:
Once the crust is done baking, hold the parchment paper to remove the pie weights.
Step 4:
Take the crust and pour the filling.
Step 5:
Place it back into the oven at the same temperature, 425F for 10 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 325F and let it finish baking for about 35 to 40 minutes. It should be puffed around the edges and a bit jiggly in the center.
Once done baking, place on a cooling rack for about an hour.
Step 6:
Garnish with whipped cream, then sprinkle with freshly grated cinnamon.
