Crust Preparation
- Combine flour, cold butter, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add ice water until a dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Transfer to the pan, trim excess, and prick the bottom with a fork. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake another 5 minutes until golden.
Filling Preparation
- Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices in a bowl. Add cream cheese for richness and mix until smooth. Pour into cooled crust, smoothing the top.
- For fruit fillings, sauté fruits in butter with sugar before adding to the crust.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until filling sets and jiggles slightly.
- Cool at room temperature for 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
- Serve with whipped cream, caramel, and nuts.
