Pumpkin Pie Filling:

 

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 and ¼ cups evaporated milk

 

Directions

1. Bake the pie crust at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the parchment paper (or foil) and pie weights. Return the pie crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

 

 

To prepare the filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree and evaporated milk until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until fully combined.

To make the pumpkin pie:

1. Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the partially baked pie crust. Return to the oven and bake at 400°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is almost set (it should be a little wobbly). Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack for 2-3 hours to cool completely. Cover tightly and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
