Description

A rich, creamy, and warmly spiced classic pumpkin pie wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust. Perfect for cozy gatherings, Thanksgiving dinners, or anytime you crave a slice of fall comfort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch homemade or store-bought deep-dish unbaked pie crust

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 2 large eggs

  • 15 oz canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin puree

  • 12 oz can evaporated milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.

  3. Beat in the eggs until fully combined.

  4. Stir in the pumpkin and evaporated milk until the mixture is smooth.

  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40–50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

  7. Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Chill before serving for best texture.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use fresh roasted pumpkin puree.

To prevent the crust from overbaking, cover the edges with foil halfway through baking.

Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
