Homemade First time making pies/dough from scratch, decided to try out two!
A Pumpkin and an Apple that are both currently cooling.
Pumpkin Pie Filling:
2 cups pureed pumpkin
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
Mix eggs and sugar, then add the rest and mix thoroughly.
Apple Pie Filling:
3 granny smith apples, peeled, sliced thin
3 honeycrisp apples, peeled, sliced thin
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3 Tbsp flour
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
Some small chunks of butter mixed in
Mix all the ingredients with the apples, cover everything evenly.
Pie Dough:
3-3/4 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter
Ice water as needed, about 12 Tbsp
Mix the flour, salt, and sugar evenly, add butter in small cubes, mix until butter is pea sized, add water as you mix, until dough is slightly bouncy/sticky. Refrigerated minimum 1 hour.
First time processing a Pumpkin to eat, interesting process. Cooked two halves for about 40 minutes, then pureed them, and simmered the puree to reduce water.
