Answer 3

An easy Pumpkin pie. Ok so I'm a traditionalist. But this is so good and easy. Also low in sodium. You don't need to use a blender. A large spoon will work just fine. This recipe is so easy my 4 yr old granddaughter can make it by herself if I get the ingredients out for her. She made it for the family dessert tonight.

Either make or buy an uncooked deep pie crust shell. Or bake in glass pie pan without crust. But if you do it without crust spray pan with non-stick spray like Pam

Preheat oven at 400 degrees

1 15 oz canned pumpkin (do not use pumpkin pie mix)
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground all spice
1 teaspoon unbleached flour
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
1 12oz can of evaporated milk
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine pumpkin, sugar, spices, and flour together in large mixing bowl. Add beaten eggs and mix well. Add evaporated milk, water and vanilla and mix well. Using clean spoon, take small taste of mixure. If it tastes like pumpkin pie stop. Sometimes I add small additional amounts of cinnamon, all spice or nutmeg to it esp if step daughters or granddaughter are making it.

Pour into prepared dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean in center of pie. Sometimes it takes a little longer than 50 minutes but don't worry. Just check it every 2 to 5 minutes after the 50 minute mark. After you take it out of oven, let it set for 10 or 15 minutes to cool a little.

You can top with nondairy whipped cream if you want or leave plain.

Enjoy. My family loves it.

KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS

Size-Wise
Celebrate and enjoy a serving of this indulgent cake on a special occasion.

How to Slice and Stack Cake Layers
Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate. Make a 2-inch horizontal cut around side of cake using a long serrated knife. Then, cut all of the way through the cake layer to make two layers. Remove the top layer by sliding it onto a 9-inch round cardboard circle. Frost the cake layer on the serving plate with one-third of the whipped topping mixture, then slide the top half of the split cake layer from the cardboard circle onto the frosted layer on plate. Place the remaining unsplit cake layer on a cutting board. Cut into two layers as done for the first layer. Repeat the process of transferring the cake layers to the stacked cake layers on plate using the cardboard circle.
