With the crunching leaves and a crispness in the air, it’s definitely the season for pumpkin pie. This recipe uses honey instead of sugar, making it even more delicious (and healthy!) than the traditional pumpkin pie.
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Combine honey, salt, and flour in a medium bowl
Add butter and knead until mixture resembles a coarse meal
Add egg and mix in
On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth, then shape into a circle
Chill until firm
Press crust into pie pan
¼ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. nutmeg
¼ tsp. allspice
¼ tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree or 2 c. homemade pumpkin
1 c. honey (can also use ½ c. honey and ½ cup pure maple syrup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup cream
Preheat oven to 350ºF
Heat honey and vanilla extract in saucepan until boiling, then bring to simmer for 3 minutes
Remove from heat and add cream

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra dose of yumminess!
