It's the crust I want to rate/review. I've been using this crust recipe for years as I'm not very good at making rolled crusts. This is soooo easy and is very flaky. If using it in an 8" inch pan, reserve some of the dough to crumble on the top of the filling--almost a double crust pie! The double baking time helps keep the bottom from getting soggy, even with juicy fruit pies!
I made it again (three pies in 2 days!) This time I left out the oil and halved the cinnamon plus baked it at at 425 degrees for 5 extra minutes before lowering the temperature. It was WAY better than the first attempt!! It still took longer to bake, though not nearly as long as the first pie! And I tried the crust this time- SO EASY AND YUMMY! I may never buy a premade crust again! :)
I used this recipe to make a large 12" inch pie and it was delicious. Even though I have good luck with rolled crusts, I tried the one in the recipe and was pleasantly surprised. For the 12" pie I one and a half times the crust ingredients and doubled the filling which was exactly the right proportions. I used unsweetened almond milk which is what I had on hand and was thrilled at how unnoticable this change made to the taste of the pie (and really decreased the number of calories per serving--an added bonus). I too would have had to cook this pie longer than stated even in a regular sized pan. In my supersized pan (microwave safe) I cooked the pie for 6 minutes on high in the microwave--which is a great trick for lessening overall cooking time of pies if your pan is microwave safe. I then cooked pie in oven @ 425° for 15 minutes and 350° for an hour. Simply a perfect pumpkin pie.--Johanna
Adrienne can eat it with her current list of food intolerances and everyone said it was pretty good. It took longer to cook than it said though.
This pie is amazing! I chose this recipe because it is dairy free and because of the easy-sounding pie crust. I was a little worried because it just seemed too easy, but happily I was wrong. It turned out excellent, no one could tell it was any different than a traditional pumpkin pie, and it was the first thing to go at our Thanksgiving dinner. This is my new go-to recipe!
Very yummy. I had to bake it twice as long as called for, but otherwise everything was perfect. I thought it was much more flavorful after it had sat in the fridge for 24 hours. We will be making this again!
This recipe was awesome! Thank you 'BakesCakes' for the inspiration. We are trying to omit as much dairy as possible and I needed to use up some pumpkin that I froze last Fall. I made my own crust, but I am excited to try this version. Working with pre-frozen pumpkin, I thought I'd need to make up for the extra water so I decreased the milk to only 1 cup. For the rest of the filling, based on comments that it came out a little less "set" than the traditional recipe, I omitted the oil. I also halved the cinnamon per reviewer comments. And the kicker...I added a heaping tablespoon of cashew cream (raw, soaked, rinsed, the purreed with water) hoping it would give the recipe the 'fat' that was missing from the diary. It baked at 425 for 20 mins, then 350 for 1 hour. The result? A perfectly set, firm pumpkin pie. It is absolutely unnoticeable that it is any different from traditional pumpkin pie. Thanks again 'BakesCakes.'
Ok I only made the filling & I love it..it is super yummy. I had been searching all over for an easy dairy free pumpkin pie & here it is. I used almond milk but followed the rest of the recipe. I wont ever need another pumpkin pie recipe. I used gluten free gingersnaps to make my own crust by the way.
I'm in HEAVEN. Dairy-free? No need to substitute tofu to compensate? The crust turned out perfectly even with my clumsy hands, and the filling was so easy to make! I made this for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, and it'll be a staple for many years to come. Thank you so much! Easy... as... pie!
I used a 9 inch pie pan but there was way too much filling for it. I probably could have made two pies out of it. The crust would not come together for me and did not make enough to fit my pie dish. Overall I'm somewhat disappointed in this recipe. I might try it again with a bigger dish and a different crust recipe.
