Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 1/2 cup dairy-free margarine, chilled and cut into small pieces
• - 3-4 tablespoons ice water
• For the filling:
• - 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
• - 3/4 cup canned coconut milk
• - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• - 1/4 cup maple syrup
• - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• - 1/4 teaspoon salt
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust.
3. Add the chilled dairy-free margarine to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and can be formed into a ball.
5. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides of the dish.
6. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract for the filling. Stir until well combined and smooth.
7. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
8. Roll out the second portion of dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut strips from the dough to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie, or simply place the whole second portion on top and cut a few slits for venting.
9. Gently press the edges of the crust together to seal the pie.
10. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
