DEEP-DISH PUMPKIN CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Using kitchen shears or a paring knife, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under itself to form a rim; pinch between thumb and forefinger to form a uniform edge around rim of dish. Crimp with fingertips. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
• Blind-bake crust: Line dough with parchment. Fill with dried beans or pie weights; bake until crust is firm and dry, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and beans. Bake until light golden, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, spices, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until thick and pale. Stir into pumpkin mixture just to combine; stir in milk and cream. With a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until stiff but not dry peaks form. Stir one-third of whites into pumpkin mixture. Gently fold in remaining egg whites until no streaks remain (do not overmix). Transfer to cooled crust and smooth top with a spatula.
• Bake until puffed and golden brown on top and set at edges, but still slightly wobbly in center, 45 to 55 minutes (if pie is browning too quickly, tent edges of crust with foil). Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour or, loosely covered, up to 1 day. Serve, with whipped cream and a light dusting of nutmeg.

PUMPKIN / CUSTARD LAYER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Start with the pumpkin layer. Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a small bowl; then set aside.
• In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs then stir in pumpkin, vanilla and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
• Prick the bottom of the pie shells several times before pouring about 1 cup (up to 1-1/4 cups) of pumpkin mixture into each of two 9-inch deep dish pie shells. (If the crust edge starts getting too brown, I cover the edge with a bit of aluminum foil. Please be careful that you don't get burned.) You'll probably have a lot of pumpkin mix left over -- I've decreased the amount in the pies because it expands as it bakes and doesn't leave much room for the custard layer.
• Place pies on a foil-lined baking sheet and position on a shelf in the center of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Prepare the custard layer while the pumpkin layer is in the oven. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, salt, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.
• At the 15 minute mark, pull the oven shelf out a bit and gently ladle the custard mixture onto the pumpkin layer -- be careful not to burn yourself. Bake for another 10 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for another 40-50 minutes (high altitude: 55-60 minutes) or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.
• Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate if not serving immediately. Top with whipped cream. (Flavor is best after refrigeration -- my opinion :).
• Note1: Do not freeze pies. Freezing may cause crust to separate from filling.
• Note2: For the pumpkin layer, 3-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice may be substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Keep in mind that this change will affect the taste.
• Note3: STORAGE. Pumpkin may be stored in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for up to three months. When freezing, leave space at the top of the container to allow for expansion. Air bubbles may cause the pumpkin to separate when thawed; this will not affect the pumpkin quality or performance.
