Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST
1 sleeve cinnamon graham crackers
(9 whole crackers)
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
FOR THE FILLING
1 13.4-ounce can dulce de leche
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
2 large eggs
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving

Instructions

Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375°. Break the graham crackers into a food processor and process to make fine crumbs (you should have about 1⅓ cups). Pulse in the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse to combine. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and press evenly into the sides and bottom of the pan. Bake until the crust is set and the edges have just started to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°.

2. Make the filling: Transfer the dulce de leche to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring, until softened just enough to stir easily, about 1 minute. Set aside 3 tablespoons dulce de leche for topping. Wipe out the food processor and add the remaining dulce de leche, pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Process just until smooth (don't over-aerate).

Pour into the crust. Place the crust on a baking sheet and bake until the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the very center, about 35 minutes.
During the last few minutes of baking, warm the reserved dulce de leche in the microwave until you can drizzle it. As soon as the pie comes out of the oven, drizzle with the dulce de leche; let cool completely. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
