Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet on the middle rack to heat up.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture and beat until smooth. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until everything is well combined.
-
Place the unbaked pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges. To prevent spills in the oven, you can place the pie dish on the preheated baking sheet before pouring in the filling.
-
Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
Place the pie in the preheated oven on top of the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes or until the filling is set. To test doneness, insert a knife into the center of the pie – it should come out clean when the pie is ready.
-
Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
-
Serve the Classic Pumpkin Pie at room temperature, or for an extra indulgent touch, top it with a dollop of whipped cream before slicing and serving.
