Make the ultimate traditional pumpkin pie with a creamy, perfectly spiced filling and a flaky crust. This recipe delivers that comforting, authentic taste perfect for Thanksgiving and fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked flaky pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until they are fully combined into the pumpkin mixture.
  4. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  5. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Do not remove the pie.
  7. Continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the creamy filling to set.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk and add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar to the filling mixture.
  • If the crust edges start to brown too quickly during baking, cover them loosely with aluminum foil strips.
  • This pie tastes best when chilled for at least two hours before serving.
