Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rack in the middle position.
Make the Graham Cracker Pie Crust: Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or kitchen mallet until you have fine crumbs. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides to form the crust. Brush the beaten egg white over the bottom and sides of the crust.
Prebake the Crust: Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes until it's lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Adjust Oven Temp: Increase the oven temperature to 425 (218°C).
Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine the pumpkin puree, condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the filling is set. Pumpkin pie is done when the center is slightly jiggly, and an instant-read thermometer reads 175°F. If the crust is getting too dark before it's done baking, cover it with foil. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pumpkin pie for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely. Before serving, you can top the pie with whipped cream, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg, or caramel sauce if desired.
Storing
Fridge: Store leftover pumpkin pie in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the fridge for 4 days.
Freezer: Wrap the baked pie in a double layer of plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Leave one layer of plastic wrap and thaw overnight in the fridge.

Notes
Press the Crust Firmly: Press the mixture firmly into the pie dish using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup. This helps the crust hold together well.
Use Pure Pumpkin Puree: Be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling contains added sugars and spices.
Browning Crust: If the crust starts to brown too quickly while baking, you can use a pie shield or aluminum foil around the edge of the pie to prevent it from over-browning.
Make-Ahead: You can bake your pie the day before and refrigerate it until ready to garnish and serve.
