Directions

  1. 1Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl.
  2. 2Open one can of pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, and add it to the bowl with the eggs.
  3. 3Add one can of sweetened condensed milk, which is milk and sugar, to the mixture.
  4. 4Add cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to the bowl. You don't need to buy a special pumpkin pie spice mix for this.
  5. 5Add a little bit of salt to the mixture.
  6. 6Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth.
  7. 7Grab a store-bought pie crust or make your own if you're an overachiever.
  8. 8Pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust.
  9. 9Set the pie on a sheet pan just in case of spills.
  10. 10Place the pie into the oven preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
  11. 11Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for another half hour or so.
  12. 12Remove the pie from the oven; it should jiggle ever so slightly in the center, which is what you want.
  13. 13Allow the pie to cool completely; it will settle as it cools.
  14. 14After it's cooled, pop it in the fridge for a bit if you prefer your pumpkin pie slightly chilled.
  15. 15Serve your perfect pumpkin pie, perhaps with whipped cream.

Tips

  • Do not buy pumpkin pie spice; use cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg instead, which you likely already have.
  • Cool the pie completely after baking; chilling it in the fridge is also recommended for a slightly chilled pumpkin pie.
