Pumpkin Pie...Long Overdue!

Well I meant to post this for Thanksgiving...wayyy back in October. At least we got to eat some homemade pie at the right time then!

The crust was really too salt, so next time, if I decide to make it (though I probably will do a different pie next year...maybe blueberry..mmm) I'll cut down the salt, maybe add sugar instead. It also got soggy by the second or third day, so I resorted to just eating the filling, which was plenty good by itself! This was a butterless crust & pie I found on allrecipes.




Totally Butterless Killer Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients
    Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice milk
 
    Filling:
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups rice milk

1.     Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).

2.     Stir together flour, sugar, and salt in a 9 inch pie pan, and make a well in the center. Pour the oil and rice milk into the well, then mix with a fork until a dough forms. Use your hands to press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the pan. Crimp the edge of the crust.

3.     Stir together the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, vanilla, and rice milk in a separate bowl until evenly blended. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until fully blended. Pour into the prepared crust and place on a cookie sheet in the preheated oven.

4.     Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center may still wiggle a little but will firm up out of the oven. Cool on a metal rack.
