Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 can (15 ounces) Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
Crust and Topping
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell
- Cool whip or whipped topping, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking the pie.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the can of Libby’s pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Fill the Pie Shell: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell, spreading it gently to the edges.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack to room temperature. This helps the filling set properly.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie and serve with a generous dollop of cool whip or your favorite whipped topping for added creaminess and sweetness.
Notes
- Use a deep dish pie shell for a thicker filling and classic pie presentation.
- Do not overbake as it can cause the filling to crack.
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves to the filling if desired.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
