Method
 

Pie Crust Preparation
  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Whisk together the egg, vinegar, and ice-cold water. Gradually pour this into the flour mix. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Pre-baking the Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough into a 9-inch pie plate, trim excess. Cover with parchment and fill with weights. Bake for 15 minutes.
  2. Remove weights and parchment, continue baking until edges are golden.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk canned pumpkin, sour cream, eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, spices, salt, and maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Add heavy cream if a thinner consistency is preferred.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Pour filling into pre-baked crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes.
  2. Filling should be set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Cooling and Brûlée
  1. Allow pie to cool completely. Sprinkle sugar over the top and caramelize with a kitchen torch or broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes.
Serving
  1. Slice and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
