Ingredients

The ingredients for this pumpkin pie recipe are simple and easy to find at your local grocery store. Here is a list of what you’ll need:

• 1 (15-oz) can of pumpkin puree
• 1 (14-oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 pre-made pie crust

If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, here are some substitution options:

• For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust.
• For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free condensed milk and pie crust.
• For a low-carb option, use a low-carb pie crust.

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
3. Pour the mixture into the pre-made pie crust.
4. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
5. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Tips and Tricks

• For a flakier crust, allow the pie crust to reach room temperature before using it.
• To prevent the pie crust from shrinking, prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork.
• To check if the pie is fully baked, gently shake the pie. If the filling jiggles slightly, it is not fully baked. If the filling is set, it is fully baked.

Baking and Serving

1. Once the pie is fully baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
2. Serve the pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
3. Store the leftover pumpkin pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
