Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Blind bake the crust for 10-12 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt together.
Pour the pumpkin pie mixture into the pie crust and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Cover edges with a pie shield or foil strips, if desired, to prevent the crust from becoming too dark or burning.
Reduce oven to 325°F and bake an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin pie filling is set. It will have a slight jiggle to the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a baking rack. Chill until ready to serve.
Make Ahead & Storage:Cooling: After baking, let the pie cool completely at room temperature. This helps set the filling and prevents condensation when refrigerated.Refrigeration: Once cooled, cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. Pumpkin pie can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For best results, serve within 2 days.Freezing Unbaked: For an unbaked pie, freeze until solid on a baking sheet. Then, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.Freezing Baked Pie: After the Baked Pie has completely cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. This pie freezes well for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.Serving Tips: For the best flavor, let refrigerated slices come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
