Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Start with the crust. Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves in a medium bowl. Add butter, and mix in until it's combined into about pea-sized pieces.

Add 4 tablespoons ice water to the mix and combine just until the dough comes together.

Shape the dough into a flat disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, work on the filling. Mix sugars, salt, spices, and lemon zest into a large bowl. Beat the eggs and add to the mix.

Stir in the pumpkin puree.

Stir in the cream.

Whisk together until incorporated.

Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a round about 12" in diameter and 1/4" thick.

Roll the dough out into a 9" pie plate and fold the excess at the edges under itself. Crimp the edges to seal.

Pour the filling into the pie shell and make sure it's even.

Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350F. Bake for another 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack for two hours.

Serve with whipped cream.

Enjoy!
