This carrot pie, with its sweet cinnamon taste, has been in my family for at least 5 generations. This pie can be served with dinner, or as dessert with whipped topping or ice cream. It’s a must-have at our family Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers (but good any time!).
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Step 2
Bake the pie shell for 3 to 5 minutes, just to firm it up, then remove from the oven, and set aside. Place carrots in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain water, and mash carrots until smooth using a food processor, or potato ricer.
Step 3
Combine carrot puree, sugar, and eggs together in a medium bowl; mix in cinnamon and vanilla. Gradually stir in the milk. Pour mixture into the partially baked pie shell.
Step 4
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue to bake the pie until filling is firm, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
