Combine all the ingredients for the crust in a large bowl and stir to combine. The crust will be crumbly, but hold its shape when pressed. Pour the crust into a 9 inch pie dish and spread out evenly to coat the bottoms and sides, packing the crust in. Use a measuring cup, small bowl, or another pie tin to pack the crust in and smooth it out along all edges of the pie tin. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine the granulated sugar, spices and salt. Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and whisk until combined. Slowly drizzle in the evaporated milk, whisking until homogenous.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish and bake at 350°F for about 50 minuttes, or until the pie is set, but still a little wobbly in the middle. Allow to cool completely before serving with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
