Maple syrup takes this pumpkin pie from ordinary to extraordinary.

Canned pumpkin mixes with real maple syrup, warming spices, and eggs to create a filling that’s creamy, not too sweet, and subtly kissed with maple flavor.

The two-stage baking (high heat first, then low) sets the custard perfectly without cracking.

Kitchen Tips

  • Use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup; the authentic flavor is worth every penny
  • Start at high heat to set the crust, then lower it so the filling cooks gently without curdling
  • Test doneness by inserting a knife near the center; it should come out clean
  • Cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating for cleanest slices
  • Top with whipped cream just before serving to keep it from getting soggy

Variations

  • Add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum for boozy depth
  • Use half cinnamon and half pumpkin pie spice for more complex flavor
  • Make it in a gingersnap crust instead of regular pie shell

Cool to room temperature, refrigerate.

Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

Try to use REAL maple syrup for this pie; it does not taste the same with the imitation type.
