Method
Prepare the Crust
- Pulse together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. In a bowl, whisk an egg with white vinegar and ice water, then mix this into the dry ingredients. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter and pulse until a crumbly texture forms. Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Roll Out the Dough
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, gently pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess. Crimp the edges decoratively, then bake the crust at 375°F for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool.
Create the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, pure canned pumpkin, sour cream, bourbon, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the ground spices. Simmer the pure maple syrup in a saucepan, then whisk it into the heavy cream before combining it with the pumpkin mix.
Bake the Pie
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust, smoothing it with a spatula. Bake at 350°F for 55–60 minutes until it sets but still jiggles slightly in the center. Cool completely before refrigerating overnight.
Add the Brûlée Topping
- Before serving, sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the pie. Caramelize with a kitchen torch until it bubbles and turns golden brown, or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely.

Notes
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze (before adding the topping) for up to 2 months.
