Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the pumpkin-applesauce mixture.
Pour the heavy cream into the mixture and add the vanilla extract. Stir until the filling is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set in the center and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature before serving. This allows the filling to fully set.
Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
