Ingredients

1 1-pound can unsweetened pumpkin puree
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cream
1 9-inch metal pie tin lined with pastry

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin and maple syrup. Whisk in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and Cognac or brandy, mixing well. In a small bowl lightly beat the eggs and stir in the cream. Mix the egg and cream mixture with the pumpkin.
Prick the pie crust all over the bottom with the tines of a fork. Pour the filling into the crust, put the pie tin on a flat baking sheet and bake on the lower level of the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 30 to 40 more minutes, until filling has set. Remove to a rack, and cool to warm or room temperature. Serve with whipped cream, creme fraiche, vanilla, caramel or rum raisin ice cream.
