bowl combine one can of pumpkin puree

this is crucial for that authentic
0:48
pumpkin flavor add in 3/4 of a cup of
0:50
brown sugar half a cup of white sugar
0:53
and a tablespoon of cornstarch the
0:55
combination of sugars gives a depth of
0:57
sweetness the cornstarch helps to
0:59
thicken everything up nicely ensuring a
1:01
perfect texture give it a good stir make
1:04
sure everything is well combined and
1:06
smooth next we're going to add our

spices this is what gives the pie its

warm cozy flavor measure out 1 teaspoon
1:13
of cinnamon half a teaspoon of ginger
1:16
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of
1:18
cloves these spices are the heart of the

pie oh and don't forget a pinch of salt
1:23

1:25
makes a difference mix those in you
1:27
should start to smell that wonderful
1:29
pumpkin pie aroma now it's time to add
1:31
the wet ingredients this will bring
1:33
everything together crack two large eggs
1:36
into the bowl and beat them lightly eggs
1:38
help to bind the filling and give it
1:40
structure then pour in 1 and 1/2 cups of
1:42
evaporated milk not condensed milk
1:45
evaporated milk gives a rich creamy
1:47
texture without being too sweet stir
1:49
everything together until it's smooth
1:50
and creamy make sure there are no lumps
1:53
pour your pumpkin mixture into the
1:55
prepared pie crust this is where it all
1:57
comes together smooth it out with a
1:59
spatula making sure it's even this
2:02
ensures an even bake now pop it into a
2:06
425° F for 15 minutes this initial high
2:10
heat helps set the crust then reduce the
2:14
350° and bake for another 40 to 50
2:17
minutes this slower bake ensures the
2:19
filling cooks through without burning
2:21
the crust the pie is done when a knife
2:24
inserted near the center comes out clean
2:26
this is the best way to check for
2:27
doneness while the pie is baking let's
2:30
talk toppings this is where you can get
2:32
creative and add your personal touch

pie you can also try a dollop of vanilla
2:40
ice cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon
2:42
sugar both are delicious options get
2:45
creative you can even add some caramel
2:47
drizzle or chopped nuts for extra
2:49
texture and flavor once your pie is out
2:51
of the oven let it cool completely on a
2:53
wire rack this step is crucial for the
