Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
-
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the pumpkin puree, flour, and evaporated milk to the eggs, then blend in the spice mixture until everything is well incorporated.
-
Fill pie shell: Pour the prepared filling into an unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. This initial high temperature helps set the crust.
-
Reduce temperature: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 25 to 35 minutes. The pie is done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Prepare topping: While the pie is cooling, prepare the maple whipped cream. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and pure maple syrup together until soft peaks form.
-
Serve: Once the pie has cooled, top it with dollops of the maple whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped walnuts for an added crunch.
-
Enjoy: Slice and serve this delectable Classic Pumpkin Pie with Maple Whipped Cream and Walnuts to your eager guests, savoring the delightful blend of flavors with each forkful.
