Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 1 15-ounce can pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, caramel sauce, eggs, granulated sugar, and all the spices until smooth and well combined. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until fully incorporated.
  2. Pour into crust: Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and pour the pumpkin caramel filling evenly into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  3. Bake until set: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 55 to 65 minutes or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. To prevent over-browning, cover the pie crust edges with foil halfway through baking if needed.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or extra caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Use a well-chilled caramel sauce for an even consistency in the filling.
  • If you prefer, make your own caramel sauce at home for better flavor control.
  • You can substitute evaporated milk with heavy cream for a richer texture.
  • To avoid a soggy crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before filling if desired.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
