Pumpkin Pie

Hi Everyone, what dessert goes with every Fall holiday and is totally appropriate for the dinner table from Labor Day through Christmas?

Pumpkin Pie of course!

This time of year, I am just craving Pumpkin Pie and all the fragrant spices in it.

This recipe is based on Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie recipe which is a food memory of my ideal and favorite pumpkin pie recipes.

Pumpkin Pie is one of those desserts that I can easily eat for breakfast.

It's one of those desserts that can masquerade as a health food, even though

I am aware it's not, it still tastes so good with all the pumpkin and spice goodness.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup granulated white sugar
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I use Saigon cinnamon because it's more fragrant
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 15-ounce can of Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree
• 1 12 fl. ounces can evaporate milk
• 1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell, defrosted or search the LLS search box for "Single Crust Recipe" if you want to make it from scratch
• whipped cream optional, search LLS search box for "Vanilla Whipped Cream"

Kitchen Tools

• 2 large mixing bowls
• can opener
• baking spatula for scraping the batter out of the bowl
• whisk or handheld electric mixer

• ¾ cup granulated white sugar
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I use Saigon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 15 ounce can Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree, organic preferred, if possible
• 1 12 fl. ounce can evaporated milk, organic preferred, if possible
• 1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell, defrosted, or search LLS search box for "Single Crust Recipe" if you want to make it from scratch

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix granulated white sugar, Kosher salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and cloves until combined. 
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, Add the whole can of pumpkin puree and pour in the evaporated milk, and mix with the eggs. 
4. Add the sugar-spice mixture to the wet mixture. 
5. Pour into defrosted pie shell.
6. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. After 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for 40-50 additional minutes. To check for doneness, a knife should come out clean when inserted into the center.
7. When the pie is done, cool it on a trivet or wire rack for 2 hours to allow the pie to firm up. Serve warm or refrigerate. Goes great with whipped cream, enjoy!

Notes

• This recipe is great baked 1 day ahead of serving, it always tastes best on the 2nd day, making the perfect easy Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert.
