1 cup light brown sugar Can use granulated sugar instead.
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch This helps the pie to set.
2 large eggs
1 15 oz can of 100% pumpkin puree Do not use canned pumpkin pie mix.
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk Do not use sweetened condensed milk.
1 9-inch frozen deep-dish pie crust I use Marie Callender's frozen deep-dish pie crust.
1 dopple whipped cream (optional)
1 drizzle Caramel syrup (optional)

Preheat the oven to 425℉. Place your frozen pie crust on a baking sheet and set it aside to pre-thaw somewhat.

In a small mixing bowl, combine and whisk together the first six ingredients thoroughly, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk two large eggs until they are light and fluffy. Using a spatula stir in the canned pumpkin puree and mix well.. Add the six-ingredient dry mixture to the eggs and pumpkin puree mixture and mix well. Add the entire can of evaporated milk and mix thoroughly.

Using a spatula pour and scrape the pumpkin pie mixture into the pie crust. Carefully place the uncooked pie into the oven on the middle rack to bake. Bake for 15 minutes at 425℉. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350℉ and bake an additional 40-50 minutes. There are two methods I use to test a pie's doneness. #1-Insert the tip of a knife into the center of the pie; if it comes out clean, the pie is done. However, this method may cause the pie to crack. #2-Gently shake the pie, and if there is just a slight jiggle in the center of the pie, then the pie is done. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Pumpkin pie can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold right from the refrigerator. My preference is cold with a drizzle of caramel sauce over a dollop of whipped cream. But no matter to me, warm, cold, or room temperature, it is awesome.
