Whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, milk, and eggs, pour into crust, bake to perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 1 sugar pumpkin
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions:
  • Slice the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Put the halves cut-side down on a cookie sheet lined with lightly oiled foil. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 30-40 minutes until fork-tender. Allow to cool slightly, then scrape the flesh from the skin. Mash or puree in batches in a blender. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, gently whisk eggs. Mix in brown sugar, flour, salt, 2 cups of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and evaporated milk, stirring thoroughly after each addition.
  • Transfer the mixture into the unbaked pastry shell and wrap a strip of aluminum foil around the crust to avoid excessive browning.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and bake for 10 minutes. Then, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove the foil strip 20 minutes before the pie is done for a light golden brown crust. Cool the pie and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor.
