Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs. Beat in pumpkin, sugars, peanut butter, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
• Gradually add light cream, beating until blended; pour into pie crust.
• Bake 65 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• On wire rack, let cool.
• Garnish, if desired, with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Place dough in 10-inch glass pie pan, leaving 1/2 inch overhang. Crimp edges, forming 1/2 inch decorative border. Cover; chill 30 minutes.
• Mix pumpkin, brown sugar, and peanut butter in large bowl. Blend in eggs 1 at a time. Stir in half and half, Southern Comfort, vanilla, nutmeg and salt. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate.).
• Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Pour filling into prepared shell. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking until filling is set and uniformly puffed, about 50 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely.

Steps:

• Place two racks in the oven: one in the lower third and one in the upper third. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lower oven rack and heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread butternut squash on it. Drizzle squash with 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream, sprinkle with granulated sugar and dot the top with butter. Roast on the upper rack, stirring once or twice, until squash is very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch metal pie pan. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. (This helps the crust hold its shape so the edges don't slump.)
• When the squash is soft, transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes (and up to a few hours). Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
• In a food processor or blender, purée the squash with the remaining cream until smooth. Add eggs, brown sugar, spices, bourbon and salt, and pulse to combine. The mixture should be very smooth.
• Pour mixture into the chilled pie shell. Carefully transfer pie to the hot baking sheet on the bottom rack. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 300 and continue to bake until the crust is golden and the center jiggles just slightly when shaken, 35 to 45 minutes longer. Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving. Pie can be baked up to 24 hours ahead of serving; do not refrigerate before serving.
