Impossible Pumpkin Pie #Thanksgiving #Recipe Peg Cochran/Margaret Loudon

 

 

When I first read this recipe, I thought yeah, sure.  Makes its own crust?  Right.  But it does!  It's a very delicate crust so this pie is perfect for people who think the filling is the best part of any pie.  It should really be called Impossibly Easy Pumpkin Pie because you can put it together in no time at all.  It's perfect when you don't want to take the time, or don't have the time, to make dough and roll it out for a crust. We tasted it warm and cold and found we preferred it cold but it's delicious either way.  A blob or swirl of whipped cream gives it the final touch.  If your pie plate is as full as mine, place it on a cookie sheet to catch any drips and make it easy to slide into the oven.

¾ cup granulated sugar

 ½ cup Bisquick baking mix

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree

2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

2 teaspoons vanilla

Whipped topping (optional but good!)

 

Preheat oven to 350°F

Spray a deep 8-inch pie plate with cooking spray.

Combine sugar, Bisquick, butter, evaporated milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and vanilla.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix until well blended and smooth (about 2 minutes).

 

 

Pour into pie plate.

 

Bake 55-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let rest for about 30 minutes before cutting and serving. 

 

Serve warm or cold.

When a wealthy local benefactor is slain on the farm, Monica has to figure out who wanted to cash in on the killing . . .

As Sassamanash Farms hunkers down for the long winter, Monica agrees to let the local animal shelter host their Christmas-themed fundraiser there. The draw of the event—a chance to have your pet’s picture taken with Santa—brings in animal lovers from far and wide. But when the crackling fire dies down and the festive holiday props are all carted away, Monica discovers a very un-jolly sight next to the barn—the dead body of one of the shelter’s biggest donors. With the farm’s good name in jeopardy, Monica goes to work to root out the killer.

By all accounts the victim was a charming and generous supporter of the shelter, but Monica discovers that he was loathed by those who knew him for being tight-fisted and unscrupulous. Suspecting money might be the motive, she turns her sights on his stylish wife and her lavish lifestyle, along with the manager of the struggling shelter, who stood to collect a hefty bequest from his will. But as Monica closes in on one final clue, the culprit closes in on her. Caught unawares, she’ll have to survive the brutal winter weather, as well as a cold-blooded killer . . .
