For the crust
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes and chilled
- 3–4 tbsp ice water
For the filling
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of ground ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe uses only a very small amount of ground ginger per serving. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often limit warming spices like nutmeg. The trace amount used here is likely tolerated. If you prefer to always avoid nutmeg, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground cloves

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.

Drizzle in 3 tbsp of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just begins to come together; add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough still looks dry and crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, press it into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
