Prepare Nut Pastry Shell. On a lightly floured surface use your hands to slightly flatten pastry ball. Roll pastry into a 12-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry circle. Trim and flute edge. Do not prick pastry. For filling, in a large bowl combine next five ingredients (through cinnamon) and cloves (if using), breaking up clumps of brown sugar. Slowly whisk in cream. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean (if using). Whisk seeds or vanilla into filling. Pour filling into pastry shell. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake 25 minutes; remove foil. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more or until top is lightly browned and filling is bubbly across the surface (pie won't appear set but will firm up during cooling). Cool 1 hour on a wire rack. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours or until set. Just before serving, sift Sugar Sprinkle over pie (if using). Sugar Sprinkle In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Nut Pastry Shell In a medium bowl stir together all-purpose flour; pecans, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening and butter until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. ice water over part of the flour mixture; toss gently with a fork. Push moistened pastry to side of bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, gradually adding ice water (1/4 to 1/3 cup total) until mixture begins to come together. Gather pastry into a ball, kneading gently just until it holds together.
