Pumpkin Pie

Tried this recipe from Allrecipes and also adapted from Canadian Living.

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces, 1 3/4 cup) canned pumpkin puree
• 1 can (14 ounces, 414 mL) Sweet Condensed Milk
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1 unbaked pie crust - I used a frozen deep pie crust, which required thawing for 15 minutes before pouring contents into pie dish.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

1. Heat canned pumpkin puree, spices and salt over low heat for 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently. Heating the puree removes the "canny" taste.
2. Remove mixture from heat and pour into bowl. Add condensed milk, vanilla and eggs. Whisk together until well combined. 
3. Pour pumpkin filling mixture into crust. 
4. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
5. Reduce oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 35-45 minutes until cake taster comes out clean. 
6. To prevent cracking of crust, allow the pie to cool gradually in the oven.
