Making Brûléed Bourbon-Maple Pumpkin Pie is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a frozen pie crust, follow the package instructions for thawing. Place the crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, heavy cream, bourbon, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the Filling: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours. This cooling period is essential for the filling to firm up.
7. Prepare for Brûlée: Once the pie is cool, sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top of the pie.
8. Brûlée the Sugar: Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden-brown crust. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the pie under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
9. Let it Set: Allow the brûléed topping to cool and harden slightly before slicing the pie.
