Sis'S Pumpkin Pie
A classic pumpkin pie filling with rich pumpkin flavor, subtle sweetness, and hints of vanilla or lemon, perfect for autumn gatherings and dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° or 400° Fahrenheit.
- Mix the blended pumpkin, sugar, milk, egg, lemon or vanilla, salt, and flour until well combined.
- Pour the filling into two prepared deep crusts.
- Bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you want a creamier texture, you can substitute half-and-half for the milk. To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon. Ensure the pumpkin is well blended to avoid lumps. Make sure your crusts are well prepared to prevent sogginess. This pie can also be made using a pre-made crust for convenience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Sis'S Pumpkin Pie warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence. It pairs beautifully with Baked Vidalia Onion Dip as a savory complement. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to four days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin. Make sure to roast or steam it until soft and then blend until smooth. This can enhance the flavor of the pie, making it taste even more homemade and delightful. Just ensure you measure out the equivalent of 2 1/2 cups after blending.
What if I want to make this pie dairy-free?
For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk. Ensure that the crust is also dairy-free, which many store-bought options are. This way, you can enjoy a delicious pumpkin pie that fits your dietary preferences without sacrificing taste.
Can I freeze the pumpkin pie?
Yes, you can freeze Sis'S Pumpkin Pie. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. It can be frozen for up to three months. To serve, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed for the best texture.
