Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven.

Step 2

Fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with the pie dough. Then trim and crimp the dough, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a medium skillet set over medium heat, then toss in the Gala apples, McIntosh apples, 1/2 teaspoon of the nutmeg, the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and a pinch of salt. Cook until the apples begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a bowl, add the pumpkin puree and whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, eggs and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Remove the pie plate from the refrigerator and fill the bottom with the sauteed apple mixture. Pour the pumpkin filling over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Bake until pumpkin is set, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Step 6

Cool, and then slice the pie and top with whipped cream if using to serve.
