1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2

Brush the top of the pie crust with egg wash.

3

Parbake the pie crust for 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.

4

Add parchment paper on top of the pie crust and place pie weights or dried beans on top.

In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.

6

Add cornstarch, salt, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and evaporated milk to the mixture and mix until smooth.

7

Remove the parbaked pie crust from the oven and pour the filling into the crust.

8

Brush the edges of the pie crust with more egg wash if desired.

9

Bake the pie at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 50-60 minutes.

10

Check the pie; the center should be slightly jiggly but the edges should be set.

11

Let the pie rest at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set completely.

12

Serve with whipped cream.
