“Deliciously Autumnal: A Homemade Pumpkin Pie Recipe to Savor”

Making a pumpkin pie is a delightful way to celebrate the flavors of autumn. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you through the process:

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups of pumpkin puree
• 1 ½ cups of evaporated milk
• ¾ cup of granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon of ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Stir until well blended.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the beaten eggs to the pumpkin mixture and mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
4. Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set. To check if the pie is done, insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is ready.
7. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before serving or refrigerating.
8. For added indulgence, serve the pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
