This pie includes all the classic fall flavors: pumpkin, pecan, maple, cinnamon, and ginger. Topped with a decadent coconut whipped cream, this Paleo-friendly dessert gets even sweeter. For a dairy-free crust, just use coconut oil instead of ghee.

While crust is baking, whisk together all of the filling ingredients until light and fluffy. Pour mixture into crust and place back in oven to bake 30 to 40 additional minutes, or until the pie filling has fully set.
