• NOTE: as per Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie (recipe is printed on the back of Libby's Pumpkin can), you may prefer to slightly alter the spices to: 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon cloves (no ginger) for one pie so be sure to double amounts for two pies.

• STREUSEL TOPPING: COMBINE 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup flour in medium bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped nuts. After pie has baked 30 minutes at 350F, sprinkle evenly over top. Bake an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well-combined. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
• Bake it for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 35 to 40 more minutes. The pie is ready when the filling's sides have set while the middle is still a bit wobbly.
• Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Slice and serve it right away or refrigerate it for several hours first. Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425*F. Whisk pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake 15 minutes.
• 2. Reduce oven temperature to 350*F. and continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from crust comes out clean. Cool. Garnish as desired. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.
• My Note: This is an easy tip and makes a big difference in taste - in a medium pan over low heat, heat up the canned pumpkin puree, spices, and salt. Heating the pumpkin puree up takes out the "canned" taste of the pumpkin and melds the spices together nicely. Then, pour the mixture out into another bowl, and let it cool a bit before adding the condensed milk and eggs. This little change makes the pumpkin taste much fresher! My family loves this recipe, and I use a ready-made graham cracker crust.
• A suggestion is to let the pie cool on the oven rack, because it cools more slowly that way. If you take it out onto the kitchen counter, the filling sometimes cracks because of the cold air.
• My wife Tips: I did not use the ginger nor the nutmeg; instead I added 2 teaspoons of "McCormik's Pumpkin Pie Spice" (which includes: Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Allspice), along with the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. My wife loved it but she thought it needed more cinnamon. So I made the next one with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and she loved it. If you like a lot of cinnamon, that's the way to go. For me, I preferred 1 teaspoon, but I'd eat it either way. Thanks EAGLE BRAND, I do make two pies.
