- Classic Pumpkin Pie baked in a solar oven is delicious. Here is a solar cooking recipe.
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the pie — pumpkin pie of course. Pies are easy to bake and really easy to bake in a solar oven. Yes, it does take a little longer, but the end result is worth the effort. I took my traditional pie recipe, substituted my homemade pumpkin puree from my baked pumpkin, and adjusted the milk.
Pumpkin Pie
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 c pumpkin puree
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 1/4 c brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 2/3 c evaporated milk, undiluted (for my solar baked pie, I reduced the milk by half because liquids do not evaporate in a solar oven like they do in the kitchen.)
- Unbaked pie shell
Pre-heat the solar oven while preparing the pie.
Mix in the order given. Pour into an unbaked pie shell. (The traditional recipe says to bake at 425° for 15 minutes; then at 350° for 45 minutes.)
I used a Sun Oven. With my solar oven was staying at about 325°, the pie took 2 hours. 
Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your solar baked Pumpkin Pie.
