Ingredients

Pie Filling

  • 1 15-oz can LIBBY’S Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 12-oz can evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Crust

  • 1 ready-to-bake deep-dish pie crust


Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients needed for the pie including Libby’s pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, spices, and the pie crust.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger until well combined.
  4. Combine Pumpkin and Eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add Libby’s pumpkin puree and mix thoroughly.
  5. Incorporate Sugar-Spice Mixture: Gradually add the sugar and spice mix into the pumpkin and egg mixture, stirring slowly until combined.
  6. Add Evaporated Milk: Pour in the evaporated milk and stir gently until the filling is smooth and homogenous.
  7. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the pumpkin filling into the ready-to-bake pie crust and smooth the top with a spoon for an even surface.
  8. Bake at High Temperature: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F.
  9. Reduce Temperature and Continue Baking: Lower oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake an additional 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, indicating the pie is set.
  10. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 2 hours; serve immediately or refrigerate for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Make sure to use LIBBY’S Pure Pumpkin for the authentic flavor and texture this recipe is known for.
  • The pie can be made ahead and refrigerated, making it convenient for holiday preparations.
  • Check the pie doneness by inserting a clean knife; if it comes out clean, the pie is fully baked.
  • Use a deep-dish pie crust for the proper filling depth and texture.
  • For best results, serve chilled or at room temperature after cooling.
