This pumpkin pie has the best pumpkin flavor for a classic pie you'll love! Along with my homemade pie crust, this is the best pumpkin pie from scratch!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Unbaked 9" Pie Crust
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 15 oz Canned Pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 13 oz Evaporated Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Add your unbaked pie dough to traditional 9" pie plate.
  • In a large bowl, whip together the eggs and canned pumpkin. Add the brown sugar, sugar, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well incorporated. Mix in the evaporated milk until the pie filling is smooth. Pour the mix into the prepared pie plate. (You may have extra depending on the depth of your pie plate. Fill until even with the base of the pie edge.)

  • Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425˚ F. Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350˚ F. and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Let cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Refrigerate once cool.

Notes

Refrigerate: After you've enjoyed a slice or two of your homemade pumpkin pie, wrap the remainder tightly in plastic wrap or seal in an airtight container. It can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. 
Freeze: If you have more pie than you can eat within a few days, you can freeze it. Make sure it is fully cooled, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and again in aluminum foil. You can store it in the freezer for up to two months. 
Thaw and Reheat: To thaw your frozen pie, place it in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to enjoy a slice, preheat your oven to a low temperature and bake until it is warmed through. The exact time will depend on your oven, but start checking after about ten minutes.
Reheating: If your pie has been refrigerated, you can eat it cold, let it come to room temperature, or warm it in a low-temperature oven. If you choose to warm it, cover the crust edges with foil to prevent them from burning.
