Instructions
 

Making the Pie Crust

  • Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preparing the Filling

  • Whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and spices until smooth.

Assembling the Pie

  • Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.

Baking the Pie

  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45–55 minutes, until the filling is set and the crust is golden. Cover edges with foil if needed to prevent over-browning.

Cooling and Serving

  • Let the pie cool at room temperature for 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips and Variations

For an extra flaky crust, keep the butter and water ice-cold. Use a pie shield to prevent crust edges from over-browning. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
