This is a Cooking Light recipe I’ve always used for pumpkin pie, because it’s really excellent. I make no changes to it except sometimes I will make the crust instead of buying crust. Really excellent pie, easy to make, and it’s pretty. 🙂
FILLING:
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (15-ounce) can unsweetened pumpkin
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
CRUST:
- Either your favorite packaged frozen/refrig dough, or your favorite recipe
STREUSEL:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup regular oats
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 to 3 teaspoons water
Preheat oven to 375°.
To prepare filling, combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; stir with a whisk.
To prepare crust, roll dough to an 11-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Fold edges under; flute.
To prepare streusel, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through 1/8 teaspoon ginger) in a bowl. Cut in butter with a fork or fingertips until crumbly. Sprinkle with water, tossing with a fork just until lightly moistened.
Pour pumpkin mixture into crust; sprinkle with streusel. Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from baking sheet; cool completely on a wire rack.
