Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the pie crust

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you're using a store-bought pie crust, follow the instructions on the packaging. If you're making a homemade crust, roll it out and place it into a 9-inch pie pan.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add eggs and milk

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then slowly incorporate the evaporated milk until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.

  4. 4

    Fill the crust

    Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Bake the pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and serve

    Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your classic pumpkin pie with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
