Pumpkin Pie II

 Essential Everyday

½ (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (1 crust)

1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

2 large eggs

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon salt

Prepare crust according to package directions for a one-crust filled pie (do not bake). Place on baking sheet; set aside.

In large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients until well mixed. 



Carefully pour into pie crust.

Bake in a preheated 425F oven 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350F and continue baking 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Do not over bake (center should be slightly wobbly).

Remove from oven; allow to cool completely. Keep refrigerated.

Served on our friends' very pretty china!


My Rating: 4/5 "I was ready to not like this because I was very skeptical about the idea of vanilla in a pumpkin pie. Granted, the pumpkiny spicy flavor isn't as strong with this one as it is with other recipes I've made. But it's still good - just in a different, more mellow way. This is like, relaxed pumpkin pie, and sometimes that's just what you want."
