Instructions
For the homemade Pie crust
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar using a whisk or your hands until well combined.
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add cold water, a little at a time, and gently mix until the dough starts to come together, but don’t overmix!
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or leave it overnight.
For the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the egg and pumpkin together until well combined.
Next, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie mix, and whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended. You can use a whisk or a blender.
To assemble
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. And grease a pie dish with butter. Set aside.
Take the chilled pie dough from the fridge and place it on a well-floured surface. Roll out the pie and transfer to the pie dish.
Shape the crust as desired and pour the pumpkin pie filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake the pumpkin pie for 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees F.
Lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 30 minutes until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before serving, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
