Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell
• 2 cups chopped carrots
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.75 cup sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 2

Bake the pie shell for 3 to 5 minutes, just to firm it up, then remove from the oven, and set aside. Place carrots in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain water, and mash carrots until smooth using a food processor, or potato ricer.

Step 3

Combine carrot puree, sugar, and eggs together in a medium bowl; mix in cinnamon and vanilla. Gradually stir in the milk. Pour mixture into the partially baked pie shell.

Step 4

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue to bake the pie until filling is firm, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
