Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 or 10-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, softened butter (or margarine), eggs, sugar, Bisquick baking mix, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
3
Using a blender, mix the ingredients on high for 1 minute or beat by hand for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
4
Pour the pie filling into the prepared pie plate. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
Once baked, allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
6
For high-altitude baking (3500 to 6500 feet), increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and reduce the baking time to 45 to 50 minutes.
7
For a quick microwave version, grease a 10-inch microwavable pie plate and blend the ingredients as previously noted. Microwave on medium-high (70%) power, placing the pie plate on an inverted dinner plate and rotating it every 5 minutes until cooked through, approximately 22 to 28 minutes. Adjust microwave time for high altitude.
8
After microwaving, let the pie cool on a flat, heatproof surface and avoid cooling on a wire rack to prevent a soggy bottom.
