Pour ⅔ of the resulting dough crumbs onto the bottom of the baking dish and smooth it over the entire surface.

Step 11

Add the pumpkin filling to the pan and spread it evenly over the dough, leaving some space around the edges.

Not satisfied with just one cooking method? Then try the second recipe. This pie requires a few more ingredients and cornstarch, but the results are worth it. Unlike the first recipe, the second pumpkin pie has a more pronounced texture. Also, instead of whole orange slices, only zest and juice are used. The result is two distinct pies with distinct flavors, based on the same cooking method. Try making both versions using the given recipe and decide for yourself.

When making pumpkin pie, it's best to focus all your attention on the filling. It's the pumpkin filling that makes the whole dish special, allowing you to fully enjoy the richness of the dough and the delicate aroma. But experimentation is also encouraged, so feel free to increase the amount of orange zest or pulp, or add new ingredients not listed in the recipe. Pumpkin pairs beautifully with many foods. Cook, taste, and experiment—it all depends on your skill and imagination!
