3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
For the Filling:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, lactose-free or almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Assembling the Pie:
1. Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle large enough to fit your pie pan.
2. Carefully transfer the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, and trim any excess dough from the edges.
3. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
5. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
6. Tip with cream (optional) and enjoy!
