Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Pie
  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree
  • 12 fluid ounces evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Equipment

  • oven
  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth baking process.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs until well combined and smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt, then gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet pumpkin mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie crust, making sure to distribute it evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil.
