Best Pumpkin Pie
The BEST Pumpkin Pie Recipe you’ll ever make — and the only one you’ll ever need! This cozy fall classic is elevated by the perfect combination of warm spices and a hint of molasses, resulting in unbeatable depth of flavor. After one bite, you'll never go back to your old recipe. Promise!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp molasses
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp allspice
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- 15 oz (1) can pumpkin puree
- 12 oz (1) can evaporated milk
- 1 deep-dish 4 cup volume 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Prepare the pie dish/plate.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add in the sugar, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice, salt, pumpkin puree, and evaporated milk. Blend well until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared unbaked pie crust. To ensure that the pie doesn’t spill over onto the oven floor, you may place the unbaked shell in a cookie sheet before pouring the batter into it.
- Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 F and bake for another 45 minutes or until the pie is firm and the center is set. Oven temperatures vary so adjust accordingly.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Lovely on its own or topped with some spiced whipped cream! Oh yummmmm!
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
I have tried this without nutmeg and just doubled the ground Cinnamon and it was also fabulously delicious so feel free to do that in case you run out of nutmeg.
Molasses are added for depth of flavor and for color so don't omit if possible.
