Steps:
- To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl and mix well. Break up the shortening and toss it with the flour mixture to coat. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, mix the ingredients together until the dough forms coarse crumbs. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough easily forms a ball that can hold itself together. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and as long as overnight.
- While the dough is resting, make the streusel: Toss the pecans with the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the butter, and using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work in until you have small clumps. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Sprinkle flour generously over a hard surface and roll the dough out with a rolling pin until it forms an 11-inch round. Fold the round in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate, and then unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate with a bit of an overhang. Tuck the overhang under to make a double-thick rim, and then use your fingers to crimp the edges of the pie shell. Brush the heavy cream over the crimped edges, and refrigerate until the filling is complete.
- To make the filling, mix the pumpkin, flour, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl well. Add the heavy cream and maple syrup, scraping the bowl several times while mixing. Mix in the beaten eggs.
- Pour the filling mixture into the pie shell, and bake for 15 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the filling is almost firm, about 30 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the pecan streusel over the top, covering the pie completely. Return the pie to the oven and bake until the filling is just a bit wobbly in the middle and the pecan streusel is golden, 10 to 15 minutes. The total baking time should be 55 to 60 minutes.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack. The pie is best served at either at room temperature or cold. Before serving, garnish the pie with the Maple Whipped Cream.
- Place the metal bowl of an electric mixer in the freezer to chill for at least 15 minutes.
- Combine the cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the chilled bowl, and beat on high speed until the mixture thickens. Add the maple syrup and beat on high speed until the cream holds firm peaks.
MAPLE PUMPKIN PIE WITH A CRUNCH
Maple syrup adds a lovely flavor to this pumpkin pie, but if I don't have it on hand, I use honey. If serving with whipped cream, a light sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg adds a nice touch. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

MAPLE PUMPKIN PIE WITH SALTED PECAN BRITTLE
This recipe is inspired from a recipe in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. I made a few changes to healthify it a bit. By swapping out the pastry crust and replacing it with a graham cracker crust and by substituting Splenda for some of the sugars you can save half the calories, carbs and fat, while saving a third of the cholesterol. All substitutions adhere to Splenda's recommendation to only substitute 1/3 of the sugar in a recipe so as not to alter a recipe's outcome.

MAPLE-PECAN BRITTLE
A unique twist on peanut brittle. I mixed the seasonal flavors of maple and pecans and it turned out beautifully. The brittle has a slightly buttery taste to it from the nuts and a warmth from the maple.

Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out two thirds dough 1/8 inch thick (about a 14-inch round). Fit dough into a 10-inch (1 1/2-quart capacity) pie plate and trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Crimp edge decoratively and chill shell 30 minutes. Shell may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered loosely with plastic wrap.
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- On lightly floured surface roll out remaining dough 1/8 inch thick (about a 10-inch round) and with a 2-inch leaf-shaped cutter cut out 16 leaves. Transfer pastry leaves to a baking sheet and chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Brush leaves with some egg wash (being careful not to drip onto edges) and bake in middle of oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer leaves to a rack and cool. Leaves may be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
- In a 3- to 3 1/2-quart heavy saucepan gently boil maple syrup until a small amount dropped into a bowl of cold water forms a soft ball, about 210° F on a candy thermometer, and cool slightly. In a bowl whisk together pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cream, milk, and eggs and whisk in maple syrup.
- Pour filling into shell and brush edge of shell with some egg wash. Bake pie in middle of oven 1 hour, or until filling is set but center still shakes slightly. (Filling will continue to set as pie cools.) Transfer pie to a rack to cool completely.
- Garnish pie with pastry leaves just before serving.
Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, and be sure to keep the dough cold while working with it.
- To prevent the pie crust from shrinking, blind bake it before adding the filling.
- Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
- Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the pumpkin filling for a classic fall flavor.
- For a sweeter pie, add more maple syrup or sugar to the filling.
- Top the pie with a crumble topping or whipped cream for a delicious finish.
- For the salted pecan brittle, use a heavy saucepan to prevent burning, and be sure to stir the sugar mixture constantly.
- Once the sugar mixture has turned a deep amber color, remove it from the heat and stir in the pecans.
- Pour the brittle mixture onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Conclusion:
This maple pumpkin pie with salted pecan brittle is the perfect dessert for fall. The flaky crust, creamy filling, and crunchy brittle topping come together to create a delicious and satisfying treat. With its classic fall flavors and easy-to-follow instructions, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
