Description

This Easy Peasy Pumpkin Pie is the ultimate no-fuss dessert that delivers classic fall flavors in just over an hour. With a silky smooth filling made from simple pantry staples and warm spices, this pie is perfect for holiday gatherings, potlucks, or anytime you’re craving that cozy pumpkin pie goodness without the stress.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Fill the Crust: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake with Temperature Adjustment: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes. The pie is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles when gently tapped.
  5. Cool Completely: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For best results, use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The two-temperature baking method ensures a perfectly set filling without cracks. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. This pie can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
