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