Simple Pumpkin Pie Recipe
This pumpkin pie features a smooth filling made from pureed pumpkin, eggs, and spices, all baked in a tender pie crust. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
