Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 3 large eggs
• 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel)
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, for streusel)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
3. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
4. While the pie bakes, prepare the streusel topping. In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans, if using.
5. After the pie has baked for 30 minutes at 350°F, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
6. Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the streusel is golden and the filling is set.
7. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Helpful Tips

• If you’re short on time, use a store-bought pie crust to make the process quicker.
• For a nut-free option, omit the pecans from the streusel topping.
• Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for a quick snack or dessert.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have evaporated milk on hand, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream as a substitute. For a dairy-free version, try using coconut milk.
