Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Line a pie plate with the premade pie crust.
In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients: pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, evaporated milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the pumpkin pie mixture into the prepared pie dish.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any potential spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After the initial 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set. You can check this by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when the pie is ready.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
After the room temperature resting, place the pie in the fridge for 3 hours before serving. This helps the pie set.
When ready to serve, you can add a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful finish.
