Ingredients
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
4. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35–40 minutes.
5. Remove from oven when the center still jiggles slightly.
6. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours.
7. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours or overnight before serving.
8. Serve with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.
Notes
For best results, chill the pie overnight before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
If your crust edges brown too fast, cover them with foil midway through baking.
Use a knife test about 1 inch from the center—if it comes out clean, your pie is ready.
