When the air gets crisp and the temperature outside drops below sweltering, virtually all I can think about is eating fall foods. I know, it’s an issue. Until I’ve had at least one homemade apple dish, I’ll keep doting on recipes online, like this pumpkin pie recipe by Eric Wilhelm. Looks fab!
Pumpkin pie is the king of Thanksgiving and Christmas desserts, and this recipe will easily get even your most over-stuffed guests thinking about a second slice.
This pie is adapted from a Cook’s Illustrated recipe (Nov. & Dec. 2008, #95), and contains a couple of secret ingredients that are delicious and will ensure requests for your tricks. In the crust: vodka; in the filling: candied yams, maple syrup, and a little bit of apple cider.
Since no one can tell the difference between fresh and canned pumpkin in a pie, this recipe uses canned pumpkins, and other ingredients you are sure to find at any grocery store.
This is an award winning pie! It won the Instructables intra-company Thanksgiving bake-off, taking home Best Pie in Show!
