How to Make Family Favorite Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a frozen pie crust, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before filling.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (or 1 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin puree), 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, ½ cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
