Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree
• 12 ounces evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter
• 1 cups pecan halves
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well-combined.

Step 3

Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 4

Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 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.

Step 5

While the pie is baking, prepare the praline topping. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the pecan halves, light brown sugar (for topping), and heavy cream.

Step 6

Cook the praline mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

Once the pie is done, remove it from the oven and pour the praline topping evenly over the surface of the pie.

Step 8

Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the topping.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate if not serving immediately. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
