Ingredients

1 9 inch unbaked pie shell
1 15 oz can can pure pumpkin puree
3/4 cup heavy cream
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted and cooled
1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, butter, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt to a bowl and stir until fully combined.
Pour mixture into pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the middle has set. Remove pie from oven and cool on cooling rack for atleast 2 hours.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

I like to wiggle pie to determine when it’s done. The outer edges should be set and the pie should give a little wiggle in the middle. You can also try these other methods for testing when your pumpkin pie is done.
I used a store bought pie crust for ease, but you can also use this recipe for a homemade pie crust.
Be sure to allow time for the pie to fully cool, at least 2 hours. If it is still warm when you cut it, the filling won't be set.
Use pureed pumpkin rather than one with added spice or sweeteners. Canned puree is better than homemade as it won't be as watery.
