Ingredients

• 1 prepared pie crust the rolled frozen or refrigeratedversion at room temp
• 1 sugar-pie pumpkin or 1.5 if they are small OR 1 15-oz can of plain pumpkin puree
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

• Preheat to 350F.
• Cut the pumpkin in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Place cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake 1 hour. Let cool. Remove skin.
• Prepare your pie dish with the store bought crust. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, preheat to 350F with the rack in the lower half of the oven.
• Add the pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt to a food processor and process for 1 minute.
• Add the puree to a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until heated through, ~5 minutes.
• Add the half-and-half and maple syrup. Whisk until incorporated. Remove from heat.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until incorporated.
