Pumpkin puree

Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape off the

fibers and seeds.

Peel with a sharp knife.

Steam the pumpkin in a pan or steamer.

The pumpkin is done when you can easily

pierce it with a chopstick or fork.
Strain the pumpkin through a sieve (or use a
potato masher) to turn it into puree.

Pâte a brisée

Dice the cold butter and mix it with the flour

and salt…
Mash with your hands to fine crumbles.

Then add the water.

Mix loosely until a ball forms.

Then continue on the table.

Flour the table and the dough.

Then flatten the dough, cut in half (with a

dough scraper)…
…stack and flatten again.

Repeat these steps 5-7 times (flatten + cut in

half + stack).

Wrap in plastic and put the dough in the fridge

for at least one hour.
Flour the table and roll out the dough to a
2 mm (0.1 inches) sheet.

Cut out a large round sheet with a scissor or

knife.
Place the sheet on the tart pan without
stretching the dough. Otherwise, it will shrink
during baking.

Then press the dough firmly against the side of

the tart pan.
Roll up the border.

Prick the bottom with a chopstick or fork to

prevent blistering.

Line the tart with baking paper (or aluminum

foil) and fill with dried beans (or uncooked
rice).
Bake for 35 minutes in your pre-heated oven at
200°C (392°F).

Remove the baking beans and brush the pie

shell with egg yolk.

Then continue baking for another 20 minutes.

Caramelized apple

Dice the apples.

Put the sugar on heat.

When the melted sugar starts boiling…

…add the apples.

Cook the apples in the caramel until most of

the liquid disappeared. This takes a few
minutes.

Take the saucepan away from the heat and

add the cinnamon.
Fill the pie with the caramelized apples and set
aside for now.

Pumpkin filling

Whip the soft butter for a short moment. Then

mix in the sugar and vanilla sugar.
Next, mix in the egg yolk, the heavy cream and
the brandy.
Finally, add the pumpkin puree.

If the mixture turns grainy at this step, warm it

over heat for a short moment and keep stirring.

Spread the raisins on the caramelized apples.

Fill the pie with the pumpkin filling.

Brush with egg yolk.

Bake for 45 minutes in your pre-heated oven at

190°C (374°F).
After baking, let the pie cool down completely.

Glaze

Cook the water and apricot jam until it

thickens.
To test the right consistency, drop a little glaze
on a plate and wait a short moment. The
consistency is right, when the glaze doesn‘t
stick to the finger.

Brush the pie with the hot apricot glaze.

Decorate the side with chopped pistachios.

You can store the pumpkin pie in the fridge for

3-4 days.
 Congratulations!
You made a wonderful pumpkin pie.
Share it with your family or bring it to your
friend‘s Halloween party.

I‘m sure they will LOVE it! ☺
