Ingredients
Scale
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
Stir in the beaten eggs until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk until the filling is smooth.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For a homemade pie crust, use your favorite flaky pie crust recipe.
Ensure you use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
To check for doneness, gently shake the pie; the center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.
This pie can be made a day ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.
