Steps to Make Easy Pumpkin Pie with Regular Milk

Prepare the Pie Crust

Easy Pumpkin Pie with Condensed Milk Recipe

If you're using a store-bought pie crust, follow the package instructions to pre-bake it. If you're making your own, blind-bake the crust at 425°F (220°C) for about 10-12 minutes, then set it aside to cool.

Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves. Add the eggs and whisk until well combined. Stir in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

Assemble and Bake the Pie

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the cooled pie crust. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil.

Cool and Serve
