Pumpkin Pie

best pie bake off, baking contest, apartment therapy, the kitchn, pumpkin pie, thanksgiving, dessert, sweetsI have just entered our Pumpkin Pie into Apartment Therapy The Kitchn’s Best Pie Bakeoff.   Our family pumpkin pie recipe truly is the best and I am not just saying that!

My step-mom, Kathie, has been making this pie for as long as I can remember and the key to her success is using fresh sugar pie pumpkin and cognac.  Now, we switched it up a bit, this year, by adding cardamon instead of cinnamon and we used French Brandy instead of the cognac.  It came out as creamy and rich as always;  but, the cardamon and brandy gave it a really nice warm taste, very smooth on the taste buds.  Using the fresh and slow roasted sugar pie pumpkins really is the key to this recipe as it gives the pie texture, really substantial texture, not smoosh like canned.  I promise if you make this for the holidays your family will be forever grateful!

  • Hi!

    I’m writing to you from the audience department at the Martha Stewart show in NYC. We are having a “Pie Show” coming up in November where each member of our studio audience will bring a pie that they made to be tried and tested by a panel of judges on air! All of the pies will be displayed on set and there is a chance that the pie chosen as ‘best pie’ will be made on air during a future show this fall!

    I’m not sure if you are local to the area or if any of your followers would be interested in requesting tickets. For more information and to request tickets please visit http://www.marthastewart.com/get-tickets!
    Scroll down to the “Calling All Pie Lovers” graphic and click on the appropriate ticket request link.
