- vanilla extract
- ground cinnamon
- pumpkin pie spice

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.
Step 7: Remove pie from oven and let cool. Top with whipped cream and serve. We also love to serve our pumpkin pie with a little vanilla ice cream as well.

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.
