Pumpkin Pie Filling: subheading: Pumpkin Pie Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, and all other ingredients together. Whisk until smooth, then pour the filling into the crust.
Bake the pie for 60 to 70 minutes, until the filling is set. It should look dry around the edges, but the center should jiggle just slightly if you nudge the pan. Keep a close eye on the pie as it bakes; if ever the crust looks like it's browning too quickly, tent the edges with foil strips or use a pie protector.
Let the pie cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

* For this recipe I buy my pie crust and it taste just as great as homemade! I buy mine from Price Chopper and I don't have to bake the crust before using.  * For this recipe I buy my pie crust and it taste just as great as homemade!
