Preheat the oven to between 400°F and 425°F.

In a mixing bowl, mix 2 eggs until slightly beaten.

Add 12 oz of evaporated milk to the eggs and mix well.

Add 1 can of pumpkin puree to the egg and milk mixture and stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Mix the spices into the brown sugar until well combined.

Add the sugar and spice mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined.

Prepare a 9-inch unbaked deep dish pie crust, keeping it cold to prevent sogginess.

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to between 325°F and 350°F and continue baking for an additional 45 to 50 minutes until the filling is set and starts to crack around the edges.

Check for doneness: the pie should be golden brown and not jiggly in the center.
