Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell
1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg; set aside.
- In another bowl whisk together eggs until frothy (about 2 minutes), add salt and evaporated milk then whisk again until combined well (about 1 minute). Lastly add melted butter and vanilla extract before whisking one last time until well combined (about 1 minute). Pour this mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined–it should be thick like cake batter or cookie dough at this point!
- Pour batter into pie shell then place in smoker for 1 1/4 hours at 225 degrees F until done baking you’ll know when it’s ready because when you insert a knife into center it will come out clean! Let cool before serving.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a store-bought or homemade pie crust for the recipe.
- If you’re using a store-bought crust: blind bake it before adding the filling. To blind bake the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove the weights and parchment paper; bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- For an extra smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to your filling before baking.
Serving Suggestions
