To ensure that your homemade Costco pumpkin pie turns out perfectly every time, it’s crucial to pay attention to a few key baking tips. First and foremost, make sure to blind bake your pie crust before adding the filling. This step helps prevent a soggy bottom crust and ensures that your pie bakes evenly. Additionally, keep a close eye on your pie while it’s in the oven to prevent overbaking, which can result in a dry texture. Another helpful tip is to let your pie cool completely before slicing it, as this allows the filling to set properly and ensures a clean slice. By following these baking tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a pumpkin pie that rivals Costco’s popular version.  I love this creamy texture of this homemade pumpkin pie and it will be the hit of the thanksgiving table.

Can I use store-bought pie crust?

Of course! I’m always looking to make baking easier and I love to use store-bought crust as a time-saver instead of a homemade pie crust.  If you do use refrigerated pie crust you will need to use both rolls to make sure you have enough dough and kind of piece them together to cover the bottom and sides of the pie pan. 

Can I use pumpkin pie filling mix?

Nope!  There is a very big difference between pumpkin pie filling mix and pure pumpkin.  Costco uses a specific kind of pumpkin in their pies and I heard a rumor it is the same pumpkin they use in the Libbys brand pure pumpkin so that is what I use.  

Can I freeze this pie?

Of course!  Make sure you wrap this tightly or in a freezer-safe container and I would freeze it up to 2 months ahead of time after its bakes then just thaw it and serve!

Gather your ingredients.

Mix the filling ingredients together.

Make your crust but combining the butter and other ingredients.

Until it forms a dough.

Poke your pie crust dough and blind bake.

Fill with your filling and bake!

Ingredients used for costco’s pumpkin pie recipe

• Cold salted butter- I like to use salted butter for my pie crust recipe because it adds the perfect amount of salt to the buttery crust.
• Flour-  You just need some good old all purpose flour for this easy crust recipe.
• Sugar-  just a bit of granulated sugar is all you need to sweeten the crust up slightly.
• Cold water- You need cold water or even ice water for this pie crust.

Filling-

• Libbys Pure Pumpkin-  You need to pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
• Vanilla extract-  This adds a sweet vanilla flavor to the pie.
• Pumpkin pie spice-  This where pumpkin pie gets all its flavor. 
• Heavy cream- Heavy cream helps richen this pie and make it decadent. 
• Evaporated milk-  I find evaporated milk just a bit sweet so this also helps make the pie sweet and creamy.
• Eggs-  You need eggs to bind everything together in the pumpkin filling. 
• Brown sugar-  Brown sugar deepens the flavor of this pie and helps it stay moist.
• Granulated sugar-  And just a bit of white sugar to also help sweeten it.

  Notes

  Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  You can use any pure pumpkin you like but Costco does use a puree that uses the same kind of pumpkin Libbys uses.

  You can use cinnamon instead of the pumpkin pie spice. 

  You can use the leftover pie dough to cut out shapes to bake on top of the pie. 

  You can also use store bought pie crust but you will need to use 2 crusts pieced together to fit into the 12 inch pan.
