PUMPKIN-PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator, and place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Roll out to a 12-inch round. Remove and discard plastic, and fit dough into a 9-inch pyrex or ceramic pie plate; trim dough evenly along outside edge, leaving about a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Crimp edge, as desired. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork. Place in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from freezer, and line with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake until edges are starting to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights, and continue baking until center is lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, salt, ginger, nutmeg, eggs, 3/4 cup cream, milk, and bourbon; whisk until well combined.
• Fill prepared pie shell with pumpkin mixture, and return to oven. Bake until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center, about 55 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool. The filling will continue to firm as it cools.
• Heat broiler. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, remaining the tablespoon cream, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of pie. Arrange the pecan halves on top, in a circle near the edge.
