Ingredients
  

  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust homemade or store-bought
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can pumpkin puree 15-ounce
  • 1 can evaporated milk 12-ounce
  • 3 large eggs room temperature

Instructions
 

  • If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out to a diameter of 14 inches and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges for a decorative look and chill until you're ready to fill it.
  • Set an oven rack in the bottom third of your oven, then preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the crust gets a nice color.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, spices, and salt until well mixed. Add the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs, whisking until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. You can brush the edges with an egg wash for a beautiful finish.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40 minutes until the filling is set but still has a gentle jiggle. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

This pie can be made ahead of time. Store it in the fridge for up to two days before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
