Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.25 cup White granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Tennessee bourbon
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs until smooth.
Add the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
Mix in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the vanilla extract and Tennessee bourbon, stirring to blend the flavors together.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges decoratively if desired.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Serve slices of pie topped with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Tennessee Pumpkin Pie!
