Turkey may be the main event on Thanksgiving, but pumpkin pie is often the star of the holiday. Not only is it a classic fall dessert, it is also a nice blend of spices and tastes. This year, instead of buying a pre-made pumpkin pie, consider following this recipe to make your own.

Serves: 8

Ingredients:
  • 1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (12oz) can evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pie dough of choice to fill 9 inch deep dish pie shell
  • 1 additional teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to your pie dough of choice (optional) and make the pie shell but do not bake.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir in the pumpkin puree and eggs.
  3. Gradually add the evaporated milk to the mixing bowl.
  4. Once mixed together, pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for a further 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the pie comes away clean.
  6. Let cool before serving.
