Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust, at room temperature

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin pie filling

  • 9 ounces evaporated milk

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 3 fluid ounces cinnamon whiskey (such as Fireball)

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Evenly pierce entire pie crust with a fork.

  3. Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven; increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
