The Best Homemade Fresh Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 sugar pumpkin
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Instructions

1. Halve the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Place the pumpkin cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with lightly oiled foil. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 30-40 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly. Scoop the pumpkin flesh from the skin. Mash or puree in a blender in small portions. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add brown sugar, flour, salt, 2 cups of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and evaporated milk. Mix thoroughly after each addition.
3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared pie crust. Cover the crust edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
4. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove the foil strip about 20 minutes before it's done so the crust turns golden brown. Let the pie cool completely, then refrigerate overnight for the best taste.
