In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the gingersnap cookie crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir to combine, until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie pan.
Place the cookie pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm and until you’re ready to add the filling.
To make the pumpkin pie filling:
In a large pot set over medium heat, combine the gelatin and water. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved, about 1 minute.
Add the spices, condensed milk, and pumpkin puree and continue cooking and stirring continuously for about 5 more minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared gingersnap crust.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours (but ideally overnight). Allow the pie to chill and the filling to set. It is okay if the center jiggles slightly.
