Curtis loves pumpkin pie and until I started making it from scratch, I didn't realize how easy it is to make!
I'm excited to work with Country Crock to bring you this pumpkin pie recipe! I have so many childhood memories food memories related to Country Crock. The big tub was always on our table and when we finished it off, it was used as a food saver container…did you all do the same thing?
Take a minute to watch this video, I show you how to easy it is to make homemade pumpkin pie!
I used Country Crock® Salted Buttery Sticks that I purchased at Publix. You don't have to wait for them to soften, just use them right out of the refrigerator.
First, mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Then add 6 Tablespoons Country Crock® Salted Buttery Sticks.
It's great for all of your holiday baking needs and I love that it's made with sunflower oil.
I used a pastry blender to the buttery stick into the flour. You can use two forks if you don't have one.
Add 1 tablespoon of ice cold water at a time, up to 2 to 3 of them.
Once a dough starts forming, you know you have added enough water.
Form the dough into a ball.
Add flour to a surface and roll the dough out using a piece of parchment paper.
Once the dough is spread out a little bit, be sure to add flour between the paper and the dough.
Roll it out to a 12-inch circle. Super easy!
Put the pie crust into a pie plate and press down. Crimp the edges and pour the filling in.
Bake and let it cool for at least two hours. I like to serve my pie chilled.
It's so easy…you can do it too! Don't forget to watch the video too!

- Place on a wire rack to cool for 2 hours. Refrigerate for at least an hour before slicing (or chill overnight).
