Roasted pumpkin pie is my favorite version of pumpkin pie. Roasting the pumpkin for the pie punches up the flavor. Forget canned pumpkin.
How To Make Pumpkin Pie With Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Slices
We were given several pumpkins and made some roasted cinnamon sugar pumpkin slices several days ago. I love trying new things and I decided the roasted pumpkin slices would make the pumpkin pie really tasty. And they did.
For years, I’ve bought canned pumpkin from the grocery store, and a 15-oz net weight can makes quite a nice pie. Oddly enough, I found that the 2-pound pumpkins we got from Seasons Bounty yielded about a pound of tasty flesh when roasted. Serendipity? Anyway, using the old standby of traditional pumpkin pie spices, I crafted a delicious pumpkin pie.
The Crust
Depending on your family and friends' dietary needs, you can use the Gluten-Free Pie Crust for Sweet Pies recipe, Gluten-Free Shortbread Pie Crust, or a traditional pie crust recipe. Of course, if you're pressed for time, one from the dairy case at the local supermarket works, too.
I like to make my own crust and crimping the edges of the crust is an art.
When baking a pie, the top edge of the crust usually browns too fast and gets too well-done way before the pie is ready. So we have some aluminum rings that are supposed to fit over the edge of the crust to keep it from baking too fast.
Pie shields keep the edge of the pie crust from burning.
We have 2 rings of different sizes: one too small and one too large for the deep dish pie plate I really like. So I just fashion a cover from a piece of aluminum foil.
To make the pie crust shield: Pull a square of aluminum foil off the roll, fold it in quarters cut a ¼ circle of a radius about an inch shorter than the size of the pie plate around the point where all the folds converge.
Unfold the foil and place it centered over the pie. This shields the edges of pie while allowing the vapor to escape.
What You Need
For this recipe, you will need measuring cups and spoons, a vegetable peeler, a good knife, cutting board, pie plate, and pie shield. We suggest you buy the best equipment you can afford and you'll never be sorry.
You will need the cinnamon sugar roasted pumpkin slices and a pie crust to make this recipe.
