Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 1.75 cups Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Evaporated milk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan and trim any overhanging edges. Crimp the edges as desired.

Step 7

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Step 8

Add the evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture, and whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing it out with a spatula if necessary.

Step 10

Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 12

Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
