Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins
• Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins
• Servings: 8
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 premade pie crust
• 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges decoratively.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
3. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Helpful Tips

• For a flakier crust, chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
• If you prefer a sweeter pie, add an extra 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the filling.
• Make sure to let the pie cool completely to help the filling set properly.

Storage Instructions

• Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• For best results, reheat individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Ingredient Substitutions

• If you don’t have evaporated milk, you can use heavy cream or half-and-half.
• Swap brown sugar with granulated sugar or coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.

Pairings

• Enjoy this Spiced Pumpkin Pie with a hot cup of spiced chai or a latte.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a perfect companion to a warm slice of pie.
