The Best Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Be the first to rate & review!

This easy pumpkin pie recipe comes together in minutes, plus you only need six ingredients to make it. Using a store-bought pie crust makes it even simpler to prepare, but if you’d prefer to make yours from scratch, see Note (below) for two foolproof recipes. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger and cloves.

Ingredients

1 15-ounce can unseasoned pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 14-ounce can low-fat sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 prepared pie crust, preferably whole-wheat (see Note), at room temperature

Directions

Position rack in lower third of oven. Preheat to 425°F.
Place pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a medium bowl; whisk until combined. Add condensed milk and eggs; whisk until smooth. Pour into pie crust.
Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350° and bake until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes more. (Cover the crust edges with foil if they are browning too quickly.) Let cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing.

To make ahead

Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

Some pie crusts come already pressed into a pie tin. If the one you bought does not, bring to room temperature. Unroll and press into a 9-inch pie pan.

If you prefer to make your own pie crust, try our Butter Pastry Dough or Whole-Wheat Pie Crust.
