Tips:

- When rolling out the dough, use a floured surface to prevent sticking. Roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and crimp the crust to seal.
- To make the pumpkin pie filling, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, spices, and salt. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the pie is baking, make the gingersnap crumb topping. Combine the gingersnap crumbs, sugar, flour, and butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the topping over the baked pie and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
