Graham Cracker Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Pumpkin Pie
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt
In a separate medium bowl, whisk eggs, the stir in pumpkin puree, sugar mixture and evaporated milk.
2 large eggs, 15 oz can pumpkin puree, 12 oz can evaporated milk
Place pre-baked graham cracker crust on a rimmed cookie sheet* then pour pie filling into pie crust.
Bake pie for 15 minutes at 425°F then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 40 more minutes, or until a thermometer reads 180°F. The pie will still be jiggly. If the crust starts to get a little dark during baking, cover with foil, and continue baking.
Open the oven door and allow oven with the pie still inside, and allow it to come to room temperature*, then refrigerate.

Notes
Tips and Tricks
*If you are using unsalted butter, you can add a pinch of salt to the crushed graham cracker when mixing.
*You can use a food processor or just stick the graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and crush them by hand (or with a rolling pin).
*Using a baking sheet helps with moving the pie, that’s all.
*This allows the pie to cool slowly and prevents the top from cracking.
