Maple Bourbon Pumpkin Pie is a unique spin on a classic recipe!

Try this easy recipe for my Kentucky-Inspired dessert- Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie- for the holiday season for a treat that just exudes warmth and festivity!

Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie Outdoors on autumn day

Leaves and temperatures are falling here in Kentucky, and as a result, it’s shaping up to be one of the most beautiful autumns we’ve seen in awhile. Currently, our maple trees are a gorgeous burnt orange, lighting up the sky and in turn inspiring this very recipe that pays homage to one of my favorite seasons in my favorite state: Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie.

And while I am not a huge sweet eater, I do love pumpkin pie. Like a warm fire on a chilly autumn day, every bite is packed with the perfect ratio of sweetness and spice!

First, here are some tools you might need to make this:

Hand mixer or standing mixer

1 large Mixing Bowl

Measuring spoons

9.5 inch pie dish

(Rolling pin should you decide to make a homemade crust)

Ingredients for Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie:

9 inch rolled pie-crust (or make your own…I went the easy route)

Pumpkin puree

Sweetened condensed milk

Butternut Mountain Farm Pure Maple Syrup

Kentucky straight bourbon

Vanilla extract (I used my own homemade)

Eggs

Brown sugar

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Kosher salt

(Fun Fact: Deerwood Farm is actually located near-ish to The Woodford Reserve Distillery and within walking distance to some others!).

Best Value Kentucky Bourbon

By and large, Old Forester is my husband’s favorite Kentucky Bourbon. In addition to taking pride in where it’s made-his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky- he just really enjoys the taste. It’s smooth with a little less “spice” to it than Woodford Reserve, but still has its own unique taste.

However, if you would like something that might strengthen the bourbon taste in the pie, I would suggest Buffalo Trace. Buffalo Trace is produced in MY hometown of Frankfort, Kentucky. As a result, you can actually smell the scent of mash all around town many times throughout year. And I find that it contributes to the unique mise-en-scene of our small distillery town. This particular bourbon has a little more fire to it and not in the way that a cheap whisky does. But, more in fashion with that of warmth from a woodburning stove smoldering in your chest.

Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 9 inch rolled pie-crust or make your own…I went the easy route
  • 1 can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup of 100 % pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp of Kentucky straight bourbon like Old Forester My husband's favorite!
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 dash of coarse kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Beat two eggs.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of your ingredients using a standing or hand mixer. Mix well!
  • Roll out pie crust and press into pie dish. Press edges to make imprint using a fork.
  • Fill pie crust evenly with pumpkin pie mixture.
  • Bake in oven for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes.
  • Remove to cool for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours serve or refrigerate and serve chilled later.

Of all of the recipes that I’ve come up with so far, this one is my favorite. Years from now, I hope my grandkids are making it for their children during the holidays and remembering special times had while eating this pie!

Because my baking experience is limited, I made my family taste it first, and it’s safe to say I was SO nervous about how it would turn out.

I am not a huge sweet eater, but my husband has a MAJOR sweet tooth. “This is the best Pumpkin Pie I’ve ever tasted!” was music to my ears after he took his first bite! Although, I’m wondering if the fact that I used a couple of tablespoons of his favorite bourbon “Old Forester” consequently made this the “best pumpkin pie” he’s “ever tasted”?

What to serve for a small family Thanksgiving:

In light of the pandemic, Thanksgiving will look quite different for us this year. Previously, we would have attended two family Thanksgivings in one weekend with very different styles of large spreads of food at both gatherings. Due to current times, we will be serving the following at home for our household:

Deviled Eggs (<- – – click for recipe!)

Hashbrown Casserole (<- – – click for recipe!)

Turkey

Stuffing

Yeast Rolls

Pumpkin Spice Butter

Maple Whipped Cream
