Instructions: 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges decoratively. Set aside.
3. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour the Filling into the Crust: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
5. Bake the Pie: Continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
6. Cool and Serve: Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set properly.Serve slices of pumpkin pie chilled, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
