How to Make My Real Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (or 1 3/4 cups homemade pumpkin puree), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup of milk.
  3. Pour the mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Continue baking for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center should be just slightly wobbly.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  8. Serve chilled with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
