For the filling:

• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. For the crust, combine the gluten-free flour and salt in a food processor. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the pie cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
