Pure maple syrup, rather than sugar, sweetens this holiday favorite. Canned pumpkin puree is quick and easy to use. Don't substitute fresh pumpkin puree; it will be too watery.

Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup whole-wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold butter, cut into pieces

  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons ice water

  • Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin-pie filling)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Topping (Optional):
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

  • 4 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

  • For the Crust:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add cider vinegar and ice water, mixing until the dough starts to come together.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to the pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
  • For the Filling:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool before serving.
  • Optional Topping:
  • Mix the sour cream and sugar to taste, then spoon over each slice of pie just before serving.
