The Best Pumpkin Pie

Since Thanksgiving is this week I thought I should share my pumpkin pie recipe. I like to make my own crust and there is no better crust than my mom's recipe! (Thanks Mom!!) I can seriously have this ready for the oven in like 15 minutes, it's so easy and yummy!

Ingredients for the Crust:  1 3/4 c. flour
                                         1 t. salt
                                         1/2 c. veggie oil
                                        3-4 T. cold water

Ingredients for the Pie:  1 can pumpkin (15 oz)
                                     1 can sweetened condensed milk ( 14oz)
                                     2 eggs
                                     1 T. pumpkin pie spice

Directions for the crust: Combine all the crust ingredients and roll out onto floured surface. Or, if you have waxed paper you can roll it in between two pieces of the paper. Just roll it out into a big circle that will fit in your pie container. I always grease my pie pan lightly. Then, just press it into the pan making sure to get the sides and top edge for crust. Then, lightly poke a few holes throughout the dough crust (so it won't shrink)

Directions for Pie filling: Mix all the pie ingredients together and pour into crust! ( I told you it was easy!) Bake at 425 for 15 minutes ONLY. Then, REDUCE heat to 350 and bake another 35-40 minutes longer. (My oven tends to be closer to the 40 min. mark)

Happy Thanksgiving!
