Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 cup ice cold water
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
1 large egg white lightly beaten
3 large eggs
1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour, sugar, and salt; then blend in cold butter until crumbly. Add egg, vinegar, and cold water to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish, prick the base, and pre-bake at 375°F for 15 minutes.
For the filling, mix pumpkin puree, sour cream, eggs, spices, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the crust and bake at 375°F for about 55 minutes.
Make whipped cream by beating heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form.
Once cooled, drizzle maple syrup over the pie and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the top.
