Carly Pearce's Pumpkin Pie

The country music singer, based in Nashville, shared her mom's pumpkin pie recipe with us and we are all over it.

Dough:

• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Filling:

• 2 cups of unsweetened pure pumpkin puree
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

1. For the dough, mix together flour, sugar and salt evenly in a bowl
2. Lightly beat in butter and egg
3. Cover the dough in plastic and let chill in refrigerator for 2 hours
4. Once chilled, sprinkle flour on a flat surface and roll out dough, then roll dough onto pie pan. Leave about half an inch extra around the edge and fold underneath the edge of the crust.
5. Pinch edges of pie with your fingers, then freeze the shell for 30 minutes.
6. Add parchment paper over the pie shell and fill with pie weights (this can be dried beans or even sugar)
7. To prep the dough for the filling, bake on a baking sheet for 30 minutes on 375 degrees, or until pie shell is golden brown
8. Take the crust out of the oven and remove the weights, then let the crust cool.
9. Set oven temp to 350 degrees
10. For the filling, mix the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, half-and-half, light brown sugar and spices and eggs into a bowl. Whisk until smooth.

What is 'Sinners' about?

When twin brothers Smoke and Stack return home for a new beginning, they're initially met with welcome arms. But as daylight turns to dusk and gives way to nightfall, unspeakable horrors expose themselves to the townspeople. Evil not only consumes everything in its path, it also changes Smoke and Stack in ways they could've never prepared for.

It's set in the 1930s South which means we'll get dialect, fashion, music, and more themes from that time period.

Who's Hailee Steinfeld starring as?

Hailee Steinfeld will be starring as Mary, the love interest of Stack. Since not much is known about her outside of that, we're assuming their romance is forbidden. What we do know is Hailee's a fan of her character and the overall themes of Sinners.

According to PEOPLE, the actress shared more of her thoughts in her newsletter Beau Society March 28. She wrote, "...This role is far removed from what I've done, but that's part of what drew me to it! I feel like I'm stepping into my own more and more as I get older, and this role mirrors that."

She also shared that it didn't take much for her to be a part of Sinners. "The minute I heard Ryan Coogler, I was in. Then I read his script and was like, 'Holy s---, this feels like a massive undertaking.' The story is so complex and layered," calling herself "fortunate and honored to even be remotely considered." So, how does Hailee Steinfeld feel about Sinners as a whole?

She says it's "thrilling and sexy and daring and dangerous — with bold representations."

Who else is starring in 'Sinners?'

Besides Hailee Steinfeld, Sinners has a robust cast that'll make the storyline even more rousing. In no particular order, viewers will see:

• Michael B. Jordan as Smoke/Stack
• Jack O'Connell as Remmick
• Omar Benson Miller as Cornbread
• Li Jun Li as Grace
• Jayme Lawson as Pearline
• Wunmi Mosaku as Annie
• Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim
• Lola Kirke as Joan
• Miles Caton as Sammy

When can I watch 'Sinners?'

The Sinners movie debuts April 18, 2025, so start planning your trip to your local theater ASAP!

Watch The Official Trailer For 'Sinners'

Trigger warning: There's a few jump scares in the Sinners movie trailer that feature bloody moments.

We think the tagline for the film says it best: "You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home," (via Warner Bros. Pictures).
