Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out the premade or homemade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim off any excess dough and crimp the edges decoratively if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt to the mixture. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
Gradually stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is smooth and well-blended.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This will allow the filling to set properly.
Once cooled, slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your Mom's Pumpkin Pie!
