Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired.
• Place the pie crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Pumpkin Filling

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
• Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture and beat until well combined.
• Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until the filling is smooth and uniform.

Step 3: Fill and Bake the Pie

• Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the pumpkin filling into the crust.
• Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

• Once cooled, slice the pumpkin pie into equal portions.
• Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
• Enjoy the delicious flavors of homemade pumpkin pie with your loved ones!
