How to Make Vanderbilts Rich Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Gently whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, and pumpkin puree in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Sprinkle the top evenly with ground nutmeg.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The center should still jiggle slightly.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents a runny pie.
