Description

This classic pumpkin pie recipe is a comforting fall dessert that features a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling nestled in a flaky store-bought pie crust. Simple ingredients combine to create a rich and creamy pie perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 store-bought refrigerated pie crust or frozen

Filling

  • 1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree (one full can)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the pie.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Press the store-bought refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. There's no need for perfection here. For easier cleanup, place the pie dish on a baking tray to catch any spills during baking.
  3. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined. Then, add the whole milk and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and uniform, ensuring the eggs are fully blended for a silky texture.
  4. Fill the Crust: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. Optionally, cover the crust edges loosely with foil to prevent them from over-browning during baking.
  5. Bake the Pie: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for approximately 70 minutes. Start checking after 60 minutes; the filling should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle in the center, indicating a creamy inside.
  6. Cool and Chill: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then, wrap it tightly and refrigerate for around 5 hours to allow the filling to firm up beautifully.
  7. Serve: When ready to serve, slice the pie into generous pieces. Top with whipped cream or your favorite topping and enjoy the classic cozy fall flavors.

Notes

  • Lightly greasing or dusting the pie dish with flour can help prevent the crust from sticking and make serving easier.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices or sugar if you prefer your pie spicier or sweeter to suit your taste.
