Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Beat eggs lightly in a large bowl.
  • Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture and vanilla.
  • Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue to bake until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Approximately 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Notes

Baking the Pie: I put foil over the pie about half way through the baking process so it didn't get too dark. I do not like my pie crust to be too dark or burnt.
