LuAnn's Carrot Pie

The yellowed, tattered clipping from which this recipe was adapted came from a Woman’s Day magazine published some 40 years ago! An “oldie, but a goodie!"

Ingredients

Pie Filling

• 2 1/2 cups sliced carrots (about 1 pound), cooked and drained
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

Pie Shell

• 1 unbaked (9 inch) pie shell

Garnish (optional)

• Whipped topping for garnish
• Nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Combine all of the filling ingredients in a blender or food processor, then blend or process until smooth. Pour filling into the unbaked pie shell.
3. Bake in preheated 450 degrees F oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for 50 minutes or until the filling is set.
4. Place baked pie on a wire rack to cool.
5. Serve, garnished with whipped topping and a light sprinkling of grated nutmeg, if desired.
