Simple Pumpkin Pie

Preheat your oven to 450°F and position a rack in the lower third.

In a large bowl, whisk the beaten egg with the pumpkin puree until smooth.

Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and brown sugar, whisking until well combined. (Freshly grated nutmeg makes all the difference here)

Slowly whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is completely smooth.

Pour the filling into your unbaked pie shell, smoothing the surface gently.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool completely before serving with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
