Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 15 ounces Pumpkin puree
• 2 large Eggs
• 12 ounces Evaporated milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar for the crust. Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, mixing with a fork, until the dough starts to come together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour a surface and roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press the dough into the dish, trim the edges, and flute or crimp if desired.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
