Perfect Pumpkin Pie Recipe
For this pumpkin pie recipe you don’t need to buy a prepared crust, and no rolling is necessary. You start by making a simple press-in crust, then assemble a simple filling from canned pumpkin purée, spices, eggs, and condensed milk—it takes only a few minutes to mix. Pop it in the oven for an hour, and what you get is a proper pumpkin pie to end Thanksgiving or other holiday dinners. Serve with Easy Whipped Cream.
Make-ahead note: This pumpkin pie can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance. Let it come to room temperature before serving.

For the crust:
1Stir the butter, oil, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Add the measured flour and stir until a soft dough forms.
2Sprinkle the dough in small clumps over the bottom of a 9-1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate. Using a measuring cup or your fingers, evenly press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the plate (flour the cup or your fingers occasionally to prevent sticking). Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
