Pumpkin Persimmon Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray to coat lightly.
• Unroll the pie crust and press it gently into the pie pan creating a high standing edge on the rim of the dish. Crimp the edge decoratively. Pierce the crust evenly with the tines of a fork to prevent puffing while baking.
• Bake the crust until the edge is browned and the center of the crust is pale golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer the crust to a work surface. Brush the sides and bottom (but not the crimped edge) with the apricot preserves to coat.
• In a food processor, combine the persimmon puree, pumpkin, sugar, mascarpone, cream, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt and blend well. Add the eggs and blend for 5 seconds. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Place the pie into the oven and, if the edge will over-brown, stand a foil collar directly on the oven rack and wrap it around the dish to protect the crust.
• Bake the pie until slits or cracks appear around the edge and the center is set, about 35 minutes. Cool the pie on a rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate until cold, then tent loosely with foil.)
• Cut the pie into wedges and serve with whipped mascarpone if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a sheet pan on the lowest oven rack to preheat.
• Combine eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Whisk in cream, persimmon pulp, melted butter, and lemon juice. Pour into unbaked pie shell.
• Bake for 10 minutes on preheated sheet pan. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. Cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place pumpkin in a shallow baking pan and lightly coat with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender when poked using a fork, 55 to 65 minutes. Remove pumpkin from oven and allow to cool 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 pie plates with the pie crusts.
• Cut the tops off of the persimmons and scoop pulp out into a bowl. Mash slightly and transfer to a food processor. Add roasted pumpkin, brown sugar, milk, cream, mascarpone cheese, apricot preserves, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt and blend well. Pour mixture into a large bowl and add eggs; blend using a whisk. Pour the filling equally into the 2 pie crusts. Sprinkle additional cinnamon on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. If crust is overcooking, wrap edges with aluminum foil. Continue baking until set, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove pies from oven and let cool before serving. Top with confectioners' sugar and additional nutmeg.
