Number Of Ingredients 13

Pastry for one 10-inch one-crust pie
1 1/2 cups canned or fresh pumpkin puree
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce, preferably from Granny Smith apples
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup packed, dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 9-inch pie shell with the pastry, making a high, fluted edge.
In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin, applesauce and eggs. In another bowl, mix the sugars, cinnamon, ginger, clove and salt, and stir into the pumpkin mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla.
Pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie pan, place in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 45 minutes longer, until the filling seems set.
Cool to room temperature and serve with whipped cream.
