Classic Pumpkin Pie Recipe for Any Occasion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.

  3. Gradually stir in evaporated milk, then add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves.

  4. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

  7. Cool completely before serving. Serve with whipped cream.

  8. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, try roasting your own pumpkin instead of using canned.
  • Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom.
  • The pie is done when the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
