Tuesdays with Dorie: Sour Cream Pumpkin Tart (or Pie)

I was happy to put some flavorful twists on the traditional Thanksgiving pie spread this year. For instance, this Sour Cream Pumpkin Pie was everything you want in a Thanksgiving pie, but with an extra tang and the perfect amount of spicing. And to make it even better, it is made with Dorie Greenspan's  ultra-buttery and flavorful "Good for Everything Pie Dough."


You can't go wrong with this Sour Cream Pumpkin Pie. It was very popular and gobbled right up by my family, especially my nieces and nephews. Oh, and you can make it with Dorie's Sweet Tart Dough to put even more of a twist on America's traditional thanksgiving pumpkin pie.

Notes: My pie crust shrunk (this was only the second time this has happened). I did some research and I need to use more pie weights and make sure not to stretch the dough. Also this recipe makes a TON of pumpkin pie filling. I need to make a deep dish (or rather, makes sure my crust stays large so I can use all the filling. I had one whole cup left!)

Happy belated Thanksgiving. Hope you'll remember this SOur Cream Pumpkin Pie (or Tart) when you plan your Thanksgiving menu next year.


Wondering what all this Tuesdays with Dorie stuff is? Read this post. This month the group is posting two recipes each Tuesday to make sure we finish the cookbook before the end of the year. I'm taking it a bit further and posting two posts per day to catch up on all my make-up baking adventures. Wish me luck.

Shrinking pie crust or not, this looks just wonderfully beautiful and delicious! I never think to make those cute little things for the center like you did...I am making a note in my book right now to do that next time!
