Pumpkin Streusel Pie Recipe

This pumpkin streusel pie recipe has a typical pumpkin pie filling, but what sets this pumpkin pie apart from other recipes is the crunchy streusel topping. A dollop of whipped cream is the ideal finish for this pumpkin streusel pie. A drizzle of caramel would also be a nice finish for this pumpkin pie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1-1/2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 deep dish frozen pie crust, thawed according to package directions
  • Streusel Topping:
  • 1/4 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 3 Tbsp. softened butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Mix pumpkin, half and half, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, cloves and salt together until smooth. Pour into pie shell.

  3. Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over pumpkin.

  4. Bake pumpkin pie 55-65 minutes on the center rack until a knife inserted two inches from the edge comes out mostly clean.
Makes 8 servings of pumpkin pie with streusel topping.
