Summary

Silky, warmly spiced pumpkin custard nestled in a flaky, buttery homemade crust—classic fall comfort with balanced sweetness and cozy aromatics.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture with a fork or pastry blender until pea-sized crumbs form.

  3. 3

    Drizzle in ice water and mix just until the dough comes together.

  4. 4

    Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, form into a ball, flatten into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    In a large bowl, whisk together all filling ingredients (eggs, pumpkin purée, heavy cream, vanilla, brown sugar, sea salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice) until smooth.

  7. 7

    Roll the chilled pie dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and drape it over a pie dish. Trim excess and crimp or pinch edges.

  8. 8

    Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust.

  9. 9

    Bake for about 1 hour, until the crust edges are golden and the filling is set.

  10. 10

    Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
