Spiced Carrot Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups chopped carrots
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a standard-sized pie plate with a diameter of 9 inches.
2
After the oven is preheated, use it to cook the pie crust for a short period of time, just enough to make it firm and set. Remove the pie crust from the oven and set it aside for further use.
3
In a separate cooking vessel, combine the carrots with an adequate amount of water that covers them completely. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, and continue cooking until the carrots are tender, which should take around 10 minutes.
4
Remove the water from the saucepan and mash the cooked carrots into a smooth consistency using a food processor, or an electric potato ricer.
5
Mix the mashed carrot puree with sugar and eggs in a medium-sized bowl, then add cinnamon and vanilla for extra flavor. Gradually incorporate milk into the mixture to achieve a smooth consistency.
6
Pour the carrot and sugar mixture into the partially baked pie crust, making sure to fill it evenly.
7
Place the filled pie crust back into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, before reducing the heat to a moderate temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue baking the pie until the filling is firm and set, which should take around 40 to 45 minutes.
8
Finally, let the pie cool completely before serving it.
