Maple Pumpkin Pie with Leaf Lattice Recipe

Ingredients

# 3 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
# 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
# 1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
# 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
# 1 teaspoon coarse salt
# 1 teaspoon ground ginger
# 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
# 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
# 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

# Reduce oven to 350. Combine sugar, flour, salt, and spices. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs, and remaining 3/4 cup cream. Whisk in flour mixture.
# Place partially baked piecrust on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour filling into crust. Bake until slightly puffed and almost set (it should jiggle slightly when shaken gently), 35 to 40 minutes. Remove pie from oven. Using one or two large spatulas, place leaf lattice onto pie. Center it carefully; once lattice has been placed, it cannot be adjusted without smearing the filling. Bake until all but the center of the pie is set, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
