Best Maple Pumpkin Pie Recipe - Jen's Famous Pie

Ingredients

• 1 (3 pound) sugar pumpkin, cut in half
• 1 pie dough for a single-crust pie
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the pumpkin halves, cut-side facing down, on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven until the flesh becomes tender, approximately 1 hour. Allow it to cool until it's easy to handle, at least 15 minutes. Remove and discard the seeds. Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and blend in a food processor until completely smooth. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. While the pumpkin is roasting, roll out your pie dough to perfectly fit a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges to create a decorative border. Refrigerate the dough until well-chilled, about 45 minutes.
5. Line the chilled pie dough with two layers of aluminum foil and then fill with pie weights.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is set along the sides and lightly golden around the border, approximately 25 minutes. Carefully remove the aluminum foil and pie weights. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush this mixture on the border of the pie crust and return it to the oven. Continue baking until the bottom of the pie appears dry and firm, about 10 minutes more. Take the crust out of the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
7. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of pumpkin puree, cream, eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until the mixture is smooth. Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the center is just set, approximately 50 minutes.
