New Recipe: Grandma's Pumpkin Pie

Happy Tasty Tuesday!

You guys are in for a real treat today because I'm sharing my grandma's world famous pumpkin pie recipe! It's supposed to be top secret so you have to promise that you won't tell anyone I gave it to you (haha!). Typically on Thanksgiving and Christmas my family puts out such a spread of delicious appetizers and dinners that I never have room for dessert but I always have to make an exception for this AMAZING pie. I could easily sit there and eat an entire pie by myself, it's that good. Now my grandma always made it around the holidays and it became so much of a tradition that after she passed away my cousin Zach took on the responsibility. I've found that it's really hard to re-create recipes that my grandma created because she baked with that extra ingredient, love, that always made the food taste better. But, I can honestly say that Zach has done an awesome job at mastering her recipe and I look forward to eating it every year!

Ingredients: **Makes 2-3 pies**

• 2-3 Keebler Ready Graham Pie Crusts
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups canned pureed pumpkin mix
• 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 3 cups evaporated milk

Directions:

• Chill pie crusts ahead of time so they're cold.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine 4 eggs, slightly beaten, with 3 cups of the pumpkin puree and set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves and mix together.
• Blend dry ingredients in with the pumpkin mixture. Stir in evaporated milk until completely combined.
• Pour mixture into cold crusts and place into oven.
• Cook pies for 15 minutes at 425 degrees and then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 35 minutes (Tip: it's ready when a knife is inserted 2 inches from the edge and it comes out clean). 

**Thanks Zach for letting me share grandma's recipe with my readers!**
