Ingredients

– 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 large egg yolk
– 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp allspice
– 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
– 1/4 tsp ground cloves
– 1 pre-made pie crust or your favorite homemade crust recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a perfectly baked pie crust.

2. Prepare the crust: If using a pre-made pie crust, roll it out and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess and crimping the edges to your liking. Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

3. Create the filling: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth. Next, add the spices: ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, freshly grated nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.

4. Fill the crust: Remove the chilled pie crust from the refrigerator. Gently pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust, ensuring an even distribution.

5. Bake the pie: Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After that, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 to 45 minutes. The pie is done when the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and serve: After baking, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and serve to enjoy a slice of autumn bliss!
