    simple ingredients to make a 4-inch pumpkin pie

    ¼ sheet of refrigerated pie crust
    ⅓ cup 100% Pumpkin Puree
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    ¼ teaspoon ginger
    ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
    1 dash allspice
    pinch of salt
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    1 tablespoon milk

    • Pumpkin Puree – My got is Libby’s Pure Pumpkin Puree, don’t use pumpkin pie filling.
    • Sugar – Use plain granulated sugar or you could use a combination of white and brown sugars.
    • Egg – Use the smallest egg in the carton.
    • Milk – Whole milk or cream makes the best pie! I don’t recommend using condensed milk.
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice – I mix my own as needed with ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. I don’t use cloves in my mix and like to adjust the seasoning to my own personal preference. You can also use a premixed pumpkin pie spice.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Can I use fresh pumpkin?

      I don’t recommend it when making a small pie and I personally like the flavor of using a canned pumpkin puree. If you want to give it try it takes a bit of work. “The Cookful” blog has a great post on how to prepare a fresh pumpkin for a pie.

      How to tell when the pumpkin pie is done?

      Insert a toothpick into the middle of the pie and when removed it should be mostly clean. The pumpkin filling will continue to cook as it cools.
