Pumpkin Pie


Pumpkin pie is my all time favorite pie in October! In Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving in October and pumpkin pie is a must for that meal. I have tried different recipes for pumpkin pie and I always come back to this one. I like using evaporated milk for a richer, creamier taste.

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup evaporated milk 
  • unbaked pie shells
  1. Mix all ingredients until well blended.
  2. Pour into unbaked pie shells.
  3. Bake in 400º oven for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 375º and bake for another 25 minutes.
  4. This is enough filling for three 8" unbaked pie shells depending on how deep you like your filling. If you like the filling deep you will get two 8" pies.
  5. Serve cooled with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. And if you like, cut out and bake leaf shapes from leftover pie dough scraps for added decorations.
