Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a piece of foil lengthwise to make a 2-inch-wide collar, and fit it around a 9.5- or 10-inch deep-dish pie dish, extending it 1/2 inch above dish. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with butter, and generously sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and then with 2 tablespoons streusel over half the sheet. Fold in half from left to right. Brush top with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Gently scrunch right side, and then fold back corners of left side to create a petal shape. Place phyllo in dish, pressing scrunched side into dish and tucking folded corners under (phyllo will not reach center). Repeat 13 times, overlapping sheets.
• Brush remaining phyllo sheets with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, and fold in quarters. Press into dish to cover bottom. Brush with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
• Bake until edges begin to turn gold, about 20-25 minutes.
• Transfer dish to a rimmed baking sheet. Mix pumpkin, brown sugar, honey, eggs, milk, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of cloves in a large bowl. Pour into crust. Tent edges with foil, and bake until center is set but still a bit wobbly, 60 to 65 minutes. Let cool in pie dish on a wire rack. Sprinkle with some streusel. Serve at room temperature with honey and remaining streusel.

Steps:

• Make pecans:
• Place large piece of foil on work surface. Stir sugar, honey, butter and salt in heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves, butter melts and syrup comes to simmer. Add pecans. Cook until syrup turns deep caramel color and bubbles thickly, stirring nuts occasionally to coat, about 9 minutes. Scrape onto foil. Working quickly, separate nuts with spoon. Cool completely. Place in airtight container. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store at room temperature.)
• Make pie:
• Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Roll out dough disk on floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under; crimp edge, forming high-standing rim.
• Stir sugar and next 5 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk in pumpkin and honey, then cream and 3 eggs. Beat 1 egg in small bowl to blend. Brush inside of crust with some of beaten egg. Pour filling into crust.
• Bake pie until filling is slightly puffed and begins to crack at edges, covering crust with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour. Cool on rack. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Store at room temperature.)
• Make topping:
• Using electric mixer, beat cream and honey in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Spoon into pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe rosettes of cream atop pie. Garnish with candied nuts. Serve, passing extra nuts separately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place pumpkin halves cut side down on a medium baking sheet, and cover with foil. Bake 90 minutes, or until flesh is easily mashed with a fork. Cool, scoop pumpkin flesh from shell, and mash.
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix mashed pumpkin, honey, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually blend in heavy cream and eggs. Pour into crusts, and top with pecans.
• Bake pies in the preheated oven 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening into flour until texture is crumbly. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the almondmilk over mixture and mix with fork until mixture comes together in a ball. If necessary, sprinkle a little more almondmilk over the mixture.
• Sprinkle a little flour over a 12-inch square of waxed paper. Place ball of dough in center; pat into disc. Sprinkle with flour and top with another square of waxed paper. Roll very thinly into 12-inch circle. Remove top piece of waxed paper and turn crust upside down over a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Fit into pie plate and remove waxed paper. Crimp edges.
• To make the filling, beat the rest of the ingredients and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt with electric mixer on low speed in a large bowl until well-mixed. Pour into crust.
• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Cover edges of crust with strips of foil to keep from over-browning, if necessary. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven:
• Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the parbaked pie crust on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
• Brown the butter:
• In a small saucepan, cook the butter over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides constantly with a heatproof spatula. The mixture will sputter as the water boils off. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping, until the sputtering subsides, the butter is foaming, and the solid bits turn a dark brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Caramelize the honey:
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the honey (to prevent the butter from burning), stirring to combine. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, swirling often, until the mixture is darkened slightly and has a savory, nutty smell, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stream in the heavy cream, stirring constantly (be careful-the mixture may sputter) until it's smooth. Set the warm honey mixture aside.
• Make the pumpkin filling:
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs to break up the whites and yolks, then add the brown sugar and whisk vigorously until the mixture has lightened in color by a shade or two, about 1 minute. Whisk in the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth. Slowly stream in the warm honey mixture, whisking constantly, until the filling is completely homogenous.
• Fill the crust and bake:
• Pour the filling into the parbaked crust all the way to the top. (Depending on the height of your crust, you may have some leftover filling, which I recommend you keep! Ever so carefully transfer the pie to the center rack and bake until the filling is set and puffed around the edges and the center wobbles gently, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Cool the pie gently:
• Turn off the oven and prop the door open with a wooden spoon. Let the pie cool completely in the oven. Doing so will allow it to cool gradually, which will prevent cracking on the surface.
• Serve:
• Slice the pie into wedges and top each piece with softly whipped cream. Grate a bit of fresh nutmeg over the cream and serve.
• Do Ahead: The pie, covered and refrigerated, will keep up to 3 days but is best served on the first or second day (the crust will soften over time).
• Cooks' Notes
• Use a good-quality, dark-hued honey. The more strongly flavored the better, so it stands out against the pumpkin. Just don't use buckwheat or chestnut honey, which are too intense.
• Bake any remaining pumpkin filling separately in a small ramekin. I like to do this to prevent ingredient waste, and also because it allows me to sample the filling prior to cutting into the pie!

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°., Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edges are golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in remaining ingredients until blended. Pour into crust. Cover edge with foil. Bake at 400° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Top each serving with optional toppings as desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
