Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 8
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Begin by rolling out the pie crust and fitting it into a metal pie dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs until smooth.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Carefully place the pie dish in your crockpot. Cover the top of the crockpot with a kitchen towel before closing the lid to prevent condensation from dripping onto the pie.
- Cook on high for 3 hours, or until the pie is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Helpful Tips
Variations: For a richer pie, substitute half-and-half for the evaporated milk. If you prefer a sweeter pie, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for a warm treat.
Substitutions: If you don’t have all the spices on hand, you can use 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice as a substitute.
Pairings
This Crockpot Pumpkin Pie pairs beautifully with a hot cup of chai latte or a classic autumn spiced tea. Add a side of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence!
