]]> Pumpkin pie is an autumn classic, but it can be a tricky dessert to put together if it’s your first time making it. Here are some tips to be sure that your pumpkin pie turns out perfect!

Use the Right Spice Combination

The biggest key to making a delicious pumpkin pie is using the right spices. Here are the essential spices for a great pie filling:

  • 4 parts cinnamon
  • 2 parts ginger
  • 1 part nutmeg
  • 1 part clove

Mix these together and your spice is going to be perfect.

Replace White Sugar with Brown Sugar

Be creative and use brown sugar instead of white sugar for your pie filling! Pumpkin pie is a spiced, fall dessert that goes perfectly with the richer tones that brown sugar lends to a pie.

Make Your Own Crust

Say goodbye to pre-made pie crusts and make your own dough in order to become a pumpkin pie master. Trust me when I say that it’s worth it. Do an egg wash before putting it in the oven and you’ll be amazed at just how tasty it is.

Top it with Whipped Cream

A delicious slice of pumpkin pie isn’t complete without a dollop of whipped cream on top. Be sure to add a nice drop of it in order to give some creamy richness to your pie!

]]> Pumpkin pie is an autumn classic, but it can be a tricky dessert to put together if it’s your first time making it. Here are some tips to be sure that your pumpkin pie turns out perfect!

Use the Right Spice Combination

The biggest key to making a delicious pumpkin pie is using the right spices. Here are the essential spices for a great pie filling:

  • 4 parts cinnamon
  • 2 parts ginger
  • 1 part nutmeg
  • 1 part clove

Mix these together and your spice is going to be perfect.

Replace White Sugar with Brown Sugar

Be creative and use brown sugar instead of white sugar for your pie filling! Pumpkin pie is a spiced, fall dessert that goes perfectly with the richer tones that brown sugar lends to a pie.

Make Your Own Crust

Say goodbye to pre-made pie crusts and make your own dough in order to become a pumpkin pie master. Trust me when I say that it’s worth it. Do an egg wash before putting it in the oven and you’ll be amazed at just how tasty it is.

Top it with Whipped Cream

A delicious slice of pumpkin pie isn’t complete without a dollop of whipped cream on top. Be sure to add a nice drop of it in order to give some creamy richness to your pie!
