How to Make Traditional Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared 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 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or your favorite topping.
  9. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
  10. **Optional Sour Cream Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Once the pie has baked for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C), spread the sour cream topping evenly over the pie. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
