Ingredients
  

  • 1 15 ounce can 100% pure pumpkin
  • 1 12 fluid ounce can evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 9 inch unbaked pie crust

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 100% pure pumpkin, evaporated milk, and lightly beaten eggs. Whisk until thoroughly blended and smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. This ensures the spices are evenly distributed and prevents clumps.
  4. Add the dry spice and sugar mixture to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk gently until everything is well incorporated and the filling is a uniform color.
  5. Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust. Be careful not to overfill.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. This initial high heat helps to set the crust.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This allows the filling to fully set.
