Ingredients
Scale
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Mix well.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the evaporated milk until fully combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40–50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

For a richer flavor, use homemade pumpkin puree.
