01
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two deep-dish pie plates with the crusts. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, maple extract, rum extract, and salt until everything is nicely mixed. Add the maple syrup, then sprinkle the flour over the mixture and pour in the evaporated milk, stirring until it’s all combined.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs for a minute or two until smooth. Gently fold the eggs into the pumpkin mixture—try not to overbeat it. Pour the filling evenly into the prepared crusts.

Step 3
Bake the pies in the middle of the oven for about 60 to 70 minutes. You'll know they're done when the centers look set and don’t jiggle when you gently shake the pans. Let them cool completely before slicing and enjoying!
