From Add A Pinch
Always thought of pumpkin pie as a humble little recipe. It doesn’t require a whole lot of fanfare to create, no mixers, just a bowl, wooden spoon, a few more ingredients, and a little time in the oven.

Directions
- Preheat oven to 425º F.
- Mix pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, and spice in medium mixing bowl until well blended. Pour butter into pumpkin mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour half-and-half into separate bowl, add eggs and vanilla and whisk until well blended. Add to pumpkin mixture and mix until blended.
- Pour pumpkin mixture into unbaked pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350º and bake for 30 minutes or until set in the center.
- Allow to cool. Top each slice with whipped cream just before serving, if using
Notes
- If you use homemade pumpkin puree, to thicken it to prevent shrinkage of the pie filling, I recommend straining through a cheesecloth.
