This recipe delivers the ultimate old fashioned pumpkin pie with a creamy filling and perfectly spiced flavor, ideal for your Thanksgiving dessert table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Place your unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and cloves. This is your best pumpkin pie spices blend.
  4. Add the spice mixture to the pumpkin mixture. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly for a creamy pumpkin filling recipe.
  5. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve with whipped cream topper.

Notes

  • For the flakiest crust, keep your butter or shortening very cold if making your pie crust from scratch.
  • To prevent cracking, avoid opening the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking at the lower temperature.
  • This pie is excellent when made ahead; chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
