Made with canned pumpkin, this honey sweetened pumpkin pie recipe is a perfect desert for any occasion. It is so easy to make that even the most inexperienced baker can have success.
Preheat your oven to 425° F while preparing the ingredients. Crack 3 eggs into a medium sized mixing bowl. They should be at room temperature.If you use your own chicken eggs, it might be advisable to crack them into a single bowl first before adding them together. This gives you a chance to see any problems and reduce the chance of getting bits of shell in the mixing bowl.
After properly measuring out your ingredients, this honey pumpkin pie recipe could not be any easier.Just combine everything together, to the eggs add - sweetened condensed milk, honey, 2% milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt and canned pumpkin.Stir well until thoroughly combined but do not whip the mixture.
If using frozen (ready to use) pie crusts, keep them frozen until you are ready to add the filling. Once the oven reaches 450° F. Place the pie crust pan on a baking sheet. This will help support the pie tin.
Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the crust - almost to the top. If you are using regular 9" crusts - you should have enough filling to make 2 pies.
Before placing in the oven, protect the crust rims with a pie ring or strips of aluminum foil. This keeps them from burning.
Place your pie in the hot oven. Set a timer to 14 minutes - pay attention!! We only cook at this heat for a few minutes - it helps to set the crust.After 14-15 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 350°F and set the timer for 30 minutes. Check the pie for doneness by inserting a knife into the filling - if it comes out clean - the pie is done.
Remove from oven and let pie cool thoroughly before cutting.
