Trayer Wilderness Grandma Robertson's Spicy Pumpkin Pie

Recipe Type: Dessert, Pie

Author: Tammy Trayer ~ TrayerWilderness.com

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup packed dark brown sugar or sucanat
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups pumpkin
1 cup undiluted evaporated milk (I used Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk in can)
1/2 cup of small tapioca beads (optional – I used it to thicken the pie)

Instructions

Beat eggs, add brown sugar, salt and spices. Stir, blend and then add all other ingredients. Pour into a 9″ pie crust. Bake at 450 degrees for 40 – 50 minutes. I also cover the pie with aluminum foil to eliminate the crust getting over done.
