How to make pumpkin pie

Fill your kitchen with delicious smells and fill your family with a delicious dessert.

You will need

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ tsp. salt

1 ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice

2 eggs

15 oz. can pure pumpkin

12 oz can evaporated milk

9 unbaked deep-dish pie crust

Equipment

2 mixing bowls

9 inch pie pan

Wire rack

Optional

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger

172 tsp ground cloves

Aluminum foil

1 cup whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees (218 Celsius) Step 2: Combine the sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a small mixing bowl. Tip: Use cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in place of pumpkin pie spice for a slightly different flavor. Step 3: Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the canned pumpkin and the sugar and spice mixture, and slowly add the evaporated milk. Step 4: Pour the mixture into the pie crust, placed in a nine-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top of your pie and bake for 15 minutes. Tip: Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil if they begin to brown too quickly. Step 5: Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake the pie for 40 to 50 minutes longer. Step 6: Remove the pie from the oven, and allow it to cool on a wire rack for two hours. Once it has cooled, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, and dig in. Did You Know? Pumpkins have been grown in North America for 5,000 years.
