Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out pie crust and trim to line a 6-inch pie plate. Press into plate and flute the edge of the crust. Re-roll remaining pie dough and line the second pie plate, fluting the edge.
  • In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk egg until beaten. Stir in pumpkin and sugar mixture.
  • Slowly add evaporated milk. Divide mixture between the two unbaked pie shells until nearly full. 
  • Bake 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Cool on wire rack for 2 hours, then refrigerate or serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  1. Pie plates: I used 2 (6-inch) glass pie plates for this recipe. A pair of 5-inch pie pans would also work (you may have a little filling leftover).
  2. Pumpkin pie spice: This recipe uses cinnamon, ginger, cloves. Or, substitute 1 teaspoon homemade pumpkin pie spice or store-bought.
  3. Pumpkin purée: Look for 100% pure pumpkin on the label, NOT the pumpkin pie mix, which already has sugar, spices, and other stuff you don't need. Or, make your own pumpkin purée.
  4. Evaporated milk: Canned evaporated milk, NOT the sweetened condensed milk. Carnation or PET brand is easy to find.
  5. Pie crust: If you're going the store-bought route, buy one 9-inch pie crust which will make two mini pies. If you're up for making your own pie crust, you also will need enough for one 9-inch pie; just divide the dough into two balls and chill.
  6. Yield: This recipe makes 2 (6-inch) pumpkin pies, enough for 2 people (or more if you're willing to share). They are delicious served cold with plenty of whipped cream.
  7. Storage: Store your baked and cooled pumpkin pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
