Equipment
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • 1 giant mixing bowl
  • 1 Knife
Ingredients
  
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell 4-cup filling volume
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix) (15 ounces)
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
Instructions
 
  • Set your oven to preheat at 425°F (220°C).
    Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
    This will make it easier to transfer the pie in and out of the oven and catch any spills.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix the granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger and ground cloves.
  • In a giant mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
    Stir in the pumpkin puree and the sugar-spice mixture you prepared earlier.
    Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie shell, filling it to just below the rim of the crust.
    If you have extra filling, set it aside for now.
  • Place the pie on the preheated oven's middle rack.
    Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
    After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
    Continue baking for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
  • Allow the pumpkin pie to cool on a wire rack for approximately 2 hours.
    Once cooled, you may serve your delicious homemade Libby's Pumpkin Pie.
    If you have extra filling, consider using it to make mini pumpkin pies or freeze it for future use.
