Instructions
Combine almond flour, sweetener, and salt in a food processor. Pulse in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse sand. Add egg and vanilla, then pulse until dough forms a ball.
Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Press chilled dough evenly into a greased 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Poke holes in bottom with a fork.
Line crust with parchment, fill with pie weights, and bake 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Remove weights and set aside.
Whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla until smooth and no streaks remain.
Reduce oven to 325°F. Pour filling into warm crust, cover edges with a pie shield, and bake 45-55 minutes until center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
Cool pie on counter for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
Keep butter very cold before mixing into the crust for the best texture.
Do not skip chilling the dough—it firms up and becomes much easier to press into the pan.
Watch crust edges closely as almond flour browns faster than wheat flour; use a pie shield to prevent burning.
Let the pie fully chill before slicing so it holds its shape cleanly.
Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which already contains added sugar.
For a dairy-free version: use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and plant-based butter in the crust.
For extra spice: add an additional ½ teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of ground cloves to the filling.
Make mini pies by dividing crust and filling among a muffin tin for individual portions.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze whole or in slices for up to 2 months.
This pie is best served cold; let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes if you prefer a softer texture.
