- ¼ Cup organic maple syrup
- ¼ Cup organic cane sugar or coconut sugar See note for alternatives

- 2 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon organic ground ginger

- ⅛ teaspoon organic ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 Pie Crust: Use my Organic Buttery Pie Crust recipe
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Roll out your Organic Buttery Pie Crust recipe and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges. If pre-baking, prick the bottom with a fork and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, then cool.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups pumpkin purée, 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/4 cup cane sugar until smooth.
- Add the spices: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggles in the center.
- Cool and serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For the best flavor, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve with a dollop of homemade whipped cream if desired.
Notes
If you’re looking to cut back on refined sugar, there are plenty of wholesome alternatives that work beautifully in this pumpkin pie. Organic maple syrup brings a warm, earthy sweetness that complements the spices perfectly, while raw honey adds a nutrient-rich, floral undertone. For a caramel-like flavor, try coconut sugar, which also has a lower glycemic index. Date sugar, made from ground, dried dates, offers a subtle fruity sweetness and extra fiber. If you’re aiming for a low-carb option, monk fruit sweetener is a fantastic zero-calorie choice with no aftertaste. Choose the sweetener that fits your needs, and enjoy a pie that’s as nourishing as it is delicious!
