Simple Pumpkin Pie Recipe (1)

This simple pumpkin pie recipe is my go to during the holidays.

The recipe originally came from a can of sweetened condensed milk and we have modified and tweaked it to make it the recipe that it is today.

Ingredients in this simple pumpkin pie:

  • unbaked pie crust
  • pumpkin puree
  • sweetened condensed milk
  • brown sugar
  • eggs
  • vanilla extract
  • ground cinnamon
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • salt

How to make a simple pumpkin pie:

Pumpkin pie can be intimidating, especially if it’s for your guests.

Follow these easy instructions and you will have no problem with this pumpkin pie.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2: If you are making your own crust, place it in the pan. If you are in a time crunch or too intimidated to make your own pie crust, you can use a premed pie crust that you get in the freezer section.

If you need a step by step tutorial on how to make pie crust, check out our Fresh Peach Pie recipe for help.

Step 3:In a large bowl, beat pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together. You could do this with a whisk or a hand mixer.

Step 4:Pour pumpkin filling into prepared crust and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 5:Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (leaving the pie in there) and continue to bake pie for 35-40 more minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6:To keep edges of the pie crust from burning, wrap the crust with some aluminum foil about half way through baking time and leave it on until the pie is finished baking.

Notes

  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Combine all the spices and store in an air-tight container.
  • The edges of the pie crust may burn, so to prevent that wrap the crust with some aluminum foil about half way through baking time and leave it on until the pie is finished baking.

    So excited, we are using this recipe for our pumpkin pie!! Will report back!

  2. Jennifer Jenkins says:

    I tried this recipe tonight and it didn’t turn out good at all. It was very runny before I poured it into the pie crust. I’m not sure what I did wrong. Any help or suggestions?

  3. Cyd says:

    Sorry it didn't turn out well for you. You used the pure pumpkin? And it cooks for almost 1 hour total at 2 different oven temps.

  4. Megan j says:

    One year I accidentally purchased the pumpkin pie filling instead of the pure pumpkin and it took soooooo long to bake. So don’t make the mistake!!! :)))

  5. Momma Cyd says:

    So true! You want the pumpkin puree!

  6. Keira says:

    Can you use this filling in mini pies?

  7. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, it should work great. You'll have to watch the cook time carefully because that will change.

  8. Amber W. says:

    This recipe is perfect! Bakes a beautiful and delicious pie!
