How to Make Dad's Favorite Pumpkin Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Brush pie crusts with slightly beaten egg white. This helps prevent a soggy bottom.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, spices (pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves), and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Gently stir in the evaporated milk and heavy cream until just incorporated.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crusts.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center may still jiggle slightly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream or your favorite topping.
