Maple Bourbon Pumpkin Pie with Cinnamon Sugar Stars
This Maple Bourbon Pumpkin Pie with Cinnamon Sugar Stars is silky, decadent and the absolute best pumpkin pie I've ever had!
Ingredients
- 2 9in premade pie crusts
- 15 oz pumpkin purée
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt reduce amount by half if using table salt
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Cinnamon Sugar Mix
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 9in pie plate by greasing or spraying with non stick spray.
- Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of the pie plate and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork. Place parchment over the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans or rice. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling by combining the pumpkin purée, cream and eggs together in a large mixing bowl.
- Next add the bourbon, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract into pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and black pepper with cornstarch. This will prevent the cornstarch from clumping. Then whisk the spice mixture into the pumpkin mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Get pie crust from oven and take out pie weights and parchment paper. Fill warm crust with pumpkin mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes until pie is set. Middle may be slightly wobbly but not liquid.
- While pie is baking, make cinnamon sugar stars. Begin by whisking remaining cinnamon with granulated sugar in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole egg and water and set aside.
- Roll out pie crust and cut into star shapes or whatever cutter shapes you are using. Then very lightly brush stars with egg wash. Place shapes onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick silicon sheet.
- Sprinkle shapes with cinnamon sugar mix. Then bake for 10 minutes until browned. Let cool completely.
- Once pie is done baking, let cool for 30 minutes. Then decorate edges of pie with cinnamon sugar stars. Serve alone or alongside whipped cream. Pie can be made up to three days ahead of time and kept covered at room temperature.
