Cozy Warming Spices Add Depth and flavor to a Simple Pumpkin Filling

A few warming spices like cinnamon, ground ginger, pumpkin pie spice, and ground allspice add the cozy touch of warm spiced flavor to this easy pie made with plain, unflavored canned pumpkin puree. A bit of brown sugar brings a caramel-like sweetness.
The whisked eggs and evaporated milk add a silky creaminess and help bind and bake the pie as it sits in a hot oven waiting to fill the kitchen with the cozy spicy scents of fall!
A Pecan Crust Adds Delicious Crumbly Texture and Warm Nutty Flavor

To keep things easy and no-fuss, we’ll use a store-bought pecan pie crust which adds a delicious nutty taste and a crunchy texture to the finished pumpkin pie recipe. The nutty pecan-flavored crust also works really well with the flavors in the spiced pumpkin pie filling.
One becomes an extension of the other, and when you bite into the pecan pie, the pecan flavors in the crust really add another easy and elegant layer of delicious flavor.

Use a simple pre-made pecan pie crust by Diamond, which comes already assembled and shaped. It should be availale in the baking aisle at your local grocery store. I would buy at least 2 crusts.
This lovely pecan crust darkens slightly as it bakes and holds the pumpkin pie filling beautifully. It bakes to a lovely crumbly texture that holds its form perfectly until you cut into it with your fork.

- After pouring and dividing, if necessary, use a ladle to re-distribute filling evenly between the 2 crusts.
Can I use This Easy Pumpkin Pie Filling Recipe with A Different Crust?

Really Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe with Pecan Crust
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Pecan Pie Crust - 1 or 2 depending on use of filling
- 1 can Libbys Pumpkin Puree - 15 oz can
- 1 can Evaporated Milk - 12 oz can
- 2 large Eggs - whisked in a separate small bowl
- ¾ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ⅛ tsp Allspice
- ½ tsp Baking Salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F and unwrap/remove cover from the pecan pie crust, if using.
- Grab a small bowl and whisk the 2 large eggs with a whisk until beaten and combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the 3/4 cup of brown sugar and the can of pumpkin purée, scooping out all of the puree thoroughly with a spatula.
- Next, splash in the can of evaporated milk and add in the 2 whisked eggs. Now sprinkle in the warming spices and salt. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, the pumpkin pie spice, the ground allspice, and baking salt.
- Using a handheld beater or whisk, beat everything together until combined.
- Fill the crust with the pumpkin pie filling. If desired, wrap the edges of the pie crust with strips of foil to prevent burning. Do this especially if using your own pie crust with crimped edges, as sometimes the crust edges will burn in a hotter oven.
- Bake the pumpkin pie in a pre-heated 400 degrees F oven for about 1 hour.
- Let cool completely for 2 to 3 hours, or until room temperature, before slicing and serving.
Notes
The pumpkin pie is fully cooked when:
- You can tap the side of the pan to jiggle the filling and see that the center is set nicely.
- You can also very gently / lightly touch the center of filling and see that it doesn’t cave, but springs back slightly.
- During baking, the filling will puff up and then sink back down once out of the oven. This is normal.
