Instructions
Sized for a 9-inch pie pan
Step 1
For the crust: cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the flour with your fingertips. This may take a while because there will be a LOT of butter.
Step 2
Slowly add in the egg until the dough comes together. You may not need to use the entire egg.
Step 3
Alternatively, use any other pie crust recipe or use a store-bought crust
Step 4
Whisk all the ingredients for the filling (pumpkin, cream, eggs, sugar, and spices) together until smooth. Pour into the pie crust.
Step 5
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until the filling is set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Let cool before serving.
