HOW TO MAKE AN EASY PUMPKIN PIE, STEP BY STEP:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugars, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl, and beat until combined and smooth, about 90 seconds.
- Add pie crust to a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges using fingers or fork.
- Pour pumpkin filling into pie crust and bake for 15 minutes, then lower temp to 350 degrees and bake for 40-43 minutes or until pie is mostly set.
- Cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours then top with optional whipped cream and dusting of cinnamon, cut and serve.
CAN I DOUBLE THIS RECIPE?
Absolutely, usually when you purchase refrigerated pie crusts they come in a two pack.
So making and freezing or refrigerating the pie after baking to serve later or save for later would be a great idea.
HOW LONG DOES THIS PIE NEED TO COOL?
The thing with this Easy Pumpkin Pie is that no matter what it is not going to be ready to go right out of the oven.
You have to make sure to cool it so it can fully set up. So make sure that you are cooling for at least 2 hours before decorating and serving.
CAN I MAKE MY OWN HOMEMADE PIE CRUST?
Yes, if you would rather make your own homemade crust you can do that. Make sure that you are making a crust that makes one crust.
You can make a double crust and save the dough for later, or double the recipe and make two pies instead.
HOW DO I KEEP THE PIE CRUST FROM BURNING?
Sometimes we can’t help our ovens and the crust starts to burn before the pie is ready.
This is one reason why we lower the temperature, but you can also use pie crust covers or tin foil if you notice them browning too quickly.
HOW TO STORE:
This can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap where it will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze this pie. Wrap in plastic wrap and then in foil and place in a freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To defrost remove to the refrigerator until thawed and then serve.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Easily double this recipe to have more on hand or save for later.
- This can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
- Top with some whipped cream and cinnamon for a flavorful addition.
- You can make your own homemade pie crust for this.
- Make sure that this cools for at least 2 hours to set up.
