Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie
1 pie crust to fit a 9-inch, deep dish pie pan

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges flush with rim. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine sugar, flour, salt and spices. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, maple syrup, bourbon, vanilla, eggs and 3/4 cup cream. Whisk in flour mixture.
