Some information needed before hand is:

This recipe serves and feeds about 8 people!
The pie is about 1 (9-inch)
The prep-time is 20 minutes and the cook time is 40 minutes, so it should take you about 1 hour to make the pie

The ingredients are:

For the Crust:
All-purpose flour
Salt
Butter or shortening
Cold water

For the filling:
Cooked pumpkin
Evaporated milk
Eggs
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Ginger
Nutmeg
Salt

The instructions needed for this are:

Crust:

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter or shortening
3 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed

Filling:

2 cups mashed, cooked pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
2 large eggs, beaten
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or more to taste
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Step 1: Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2: To make the pastry crust: Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3: Mix in 3 tablespoons of water, one at a time, until the dough is moist enough to hold together. Add up to 1 more tablespoon of water if needed.
Step 4: Shape dough into a ball with lightly floured hands. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
Step 5: Place a 9-inch pie pan upside-down on the dough; use a sharp knife to cut a circle of dough 1 ½ inches larger than the pie pan. Remove and discard dough scraps and set pie pan aside.
Step 6: Gently roll a circular piece of dough around the rolling pin; transfer it right-side up over the pie pan. Unroll, easing dough into the bottom of the pan.
Step 7: Use two hands to flute or shape the dough around the top edges.
Step 8: To make the filling: Beat pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Pour into the prepared crust.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the filling 1 inch from the edge comes out clean, 40 to 60 minutes. Cover the edges with foil if needed to prevent from burning as the filling cooks.
Step 10: Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before serving.
