1/2 recipe Tender Flaky Piecrust
1 15-ounce can solid-pack pumpkin (or 2 cups fresh pumpkin puree)
1/4 cup apple butter (optional)*
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup light-brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk


Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly flour your work surface; roll out one
disk of dough into a 12- to 13-inch circle. Transfer dough into a 10-inch
glass pie plate. Finish edges, then place pie shell in freezer while you
prepare the filling.

In a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, warm together the pumpkin, apple
butter, and butter. Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk in the sugars, flour, spices, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs and evaporated milk. Gradually stir the egg
mixture into the pumpkin mixture and whisk until thoroughly blended.

Pour pumpkin filling into the frozen pie shell and bake 10 minutes. Shield
crust with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning.

Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake 35 to 40 minutes longer.

Praline Topping (optional)

1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped pecans (or other nuts of your choice)

To check for doneness, shake the pie gently. If the center is not jiggling,
it’s done (do not insert a knife into the pie, which can cause the surface
to split). Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool slightly while you
make the praline topping.

Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in a medium saucepan
over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts. Remove from
heat and stir in pecans. Pour topping over the surface of the cooked pie.
Cool completely before serving.
