Ingredients
For the Pie Filling:
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream or whipped topping
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven. -
Prepare the Pie Crust:
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and flute the edges as desired. Set aside. -
Mix the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. -
Fill the Pie Crust:
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. -
Bake at High Temperature:
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. -
Lower the Temperature:
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for an additional 35 minutes or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. -
Cool the Pie:
Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours. -
Serve or Store:
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or allspice to the filling.
-
To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
-
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
-
You can make this pie ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight for best results.
