Equipment

  • 9-inch tart pan or pie dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 cup flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • ½ cup butter Can replace with coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1 large egg Bind the crust
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar

For the Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree Ensure it is pure pumpkin
  • 8 oz cream cheese Use full-fat for best results
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ginger Adjust to taste
  • ¼ cup maple syrup Honey can be an alternative

For the Topping

  • 1 cup pecans Can substitute with walnuts or omit

Instructions

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour and butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and brown sugar, mixing until a soft dough forms. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your pie to ensure it's hot for baking. Grease a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish.
  • Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Fit it into your prepared pan, trimming excess dough to create a neat edge.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together pumpkin puree, cream cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and maple syrup until smooth.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the crust, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle the pecans on top for crunch.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set and the crust turns golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and avoid overmixing. Allow cooling completely for neat slices.
