Pumpkin Pie with Olive Oil Pie Crust by @breadandbasil

Yields1 Serving

For the Crust:
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 ¼ tsp sea salt
 ¼ cup cold water, plus more as needed
For the Pumpkin PIe filling:
 1 15oz can pure pumpkin puree
 ½ cup packed light brown sugar
 ½ cup granulated sugar
 2 tsp vanilla extract
 3 large eggs
 2 tsp ground cinnamon
 ½ tsp ground cloves
 ½ tsp ground nutmeg
 ½ tsp sea salt
 ½ cup half and half or heavy cream
1

In a large mixing bowl, toss the flour, salt, and olive oil together until a crumbly mixture forms. Add ¼ cup water and toss until combined. If the dough seems dry and does not stick together, continue adding water 1-2 teaspoons at a time until the dough forms rough ball. It will be loose and sticky at this point.

Press the dough into the pie plate, and chill for at least 1 hour. If you are having trouble shaping the sides of the dough, it’s sometimes easier to do after chilling.

Once chilled, preheat the oven to 325°F. Blind bake the dough without pie weights for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

While the crust cools, make the filling: combine all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake the pie at 325°F for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is jiggly, but not liquid. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
