Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 2 cups Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 whole Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Whipped cream (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together into a ball. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, trim the edges, and flute or crimp as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin filling into the chilled pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center. Check the crust midway—if it's browning too fast, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.

Step 9

Once cooled, store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Top slices with whipped cream if desired and enjoy your Vanderbilt’s Rich Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie!
