Homemade Pumpkin Pie

Step 1

Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Place the pumpkin puree in a food processor along with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Pulse to combine.

Step 3

Add eggs 1 at a time, pulsing after each addition. Gradually add the cream in a thin stream, processing just until blended. Process 5 seconds longer.

Step 4

Pour the filling into the crust. Place the pie on a sheet pan.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Step 6

Bake the pie for an additional 40-50 minutes or until center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the filling comes out clean.

Step 7

Cool the pie on a rack. Cut into slices and top with whipped cream if desired, or refrigerate the pie for later use.
