Baked Bourbon Maple Pumpkin Pie

Steps

  Make the chocolate pie dough: In a food processor, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and flour. Pulse until well-incorporated. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Transfer to a large bowl.

  Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Plus 1 Tbsp Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 3 1/2 Tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 Teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 1/4 Cup Plus 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

  • 6 Tablespoon (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into cubes

  • 2 Tablespoon vegetable shortening, chilled, cut into cubes

• 2

  In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, vinegar, and ice water. Drizzle half of egg mixture over the flour mixture and use a for mix gently just until combined. Add remaining egg mixture and mix until the dough just comes together, with some unincorporated floury bits.

  Ingredients

  • 1 Large egg yolk

  • 1/2 Teaspoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1/4 Cup ice water

  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat together and fatten slightly, then cut into quarters. Stack the pieces on top of one another, layering the unincorporated bits between, and press down to compact. Repeat cutting and stacking twice until the dough has come together. Shape the dough into a 1-inch-thick disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 14-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, lifting the edges to allow the dough to sit flush against the pan. Trim any excess dough around the edges, leaving 1 inch of overhang. Fold the overhang under itself around the edges and crimp as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 15 minutes.
