Before we dive into the wild world of pie-making wizardry, let’s gather our magical ingredients. Don’t worry, this isn’t a potions class — no cauldrons needed!
- 1 half (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions to Pie Glory!
Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to the fun part: assembling our delicious masterpiece!
- First, preheat your oven to 425°F (that's 220°C for the fancy folks). Let that oven get as hot as your aunt's famous gossip at family gatherings!
- Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. You can either make your own or use a store-bought one because sometimes we need to keep it real.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves like you’re auditioning for a baking competition.
- Add the eggs and mix them in until completely combined. Then slowly pour in the evaporated milk while stirring. Look at that creamy goodness!
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for; it’s like the dramatic reveal in a cooking show!
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (around 175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Pro tip: the pie may jiggle a little; that’s just it doing a happy dance!
- Let the pie cool before serving. This way, you won’t burn your tongue off and have to explain that to your friends!
- Slice and serve with whipped cream, if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy your pie and the smiles that come with it!
And there you have it! Your very own Easy Pumpkin Pie that’ll have everyone singing your praises. Now, go forth and conquer that dessert table! Victory is sweet, just like this pie.
