Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust
Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust features a spiced pumpkin filling baked in a buttery, crumbly graham cracker crust. The filling blends canned pumpkin with eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, evaporated milk, and warm spices, baked initially at high heat then finished at a lower temperature to set with a smooth texture and slight jiggle in the center.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 12 full sheets of graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
For the filling:
- 2 egg room temperature
- 1 egg room temperature, yolk
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (15-ounce) pumpkin puree canned
- 1 (12-ounce) evaporated milk can
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Place the graham crackers and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer the crumbs to a 10-inch pie plate and press into an even layer on the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before proceeding with the filling.
- While the crust cools, preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- Once the crust has cooled, add eggs, egg yolk and brown sugar to a large bowl. Whisk by hand until the mixture is well combined, about 2 minutes. Add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt, and whisk until incorporated.
- Add pumpkin puree and evaporated milk and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared crust and bake at 425˚F for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350˚ and continue to bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is mostly set, with a small amount of jiggle in the very center. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 to 2 hours to set before serving. If you make the pie ahead, refrigerate it for up to 2 days before serving.
