  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Make the crust: Whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp edges. Prick bottom with a fork.
  3. Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove weights and parchment paper; bake for 5-7 more minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  5. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  6. Stir in chopped pralines. Pour filling into cooled crust.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade pecan pralines. You can also add a pinch of salt to the crust for enhanced taste. Let the pie chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving for optimal texture.
