Steps:
- Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 9-inch pie plate. Pulse the chocolate wafers, sugar and orange zest in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the side of the prepared plate. Bake until set, 15 to 20 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust and spread over the bottom and up the side; set aside until the chocolate sets, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Combine the milk, 2/3 cup sugar, the egg yolks, pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the mixture bubbles, 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully whisk the milk mixture into the gelatin mixture until combined. Let sit at room temperature, stirring frequently, until cool but not set, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Beat 3/4 cup heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture, then pour into the prepared crust. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Beat the remaining 1 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread on top of the pie.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Process gingersnaps, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, and process until combined. Divide mixture among six 5-inch pie plates, pressing into bottom and up sides. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until darkened and firm, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Using an offset spatula, carefully unmold crusts, and return to sheet to cool. (Crusts can be stored in pie plates in airtight containers for up to 2 days.)
- Make the filling: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a bowl. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine pumpkin, egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, milk, salt, and spices in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until mixture begins to thicken, about 8 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Let cool completely.
- Beat egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Whisk one-third of beaten egg whites into cooled pumpkin mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites. (Filling can be refrigerated, covered, overnight.) Spoon into pie shells, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours).
- Make the garnish: Using a vegetable peeler, shave pumpkin into thin, wide ribbons. Bring water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add pumpkin pieces, and reduce heat. Simmer gently until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Pour into a bowl, and let cool completely. (Garnish can stand at room temperature for up to 3 hours.) Top each pie with 3 or 4 pumpkin pieces, discarding syrup. Serve immediately.
- Variation: This recipe also can make two 8-inch pies; be sure to leave the crust in the pie plate before adding the filling.

Steps:
- To make the crust, butter a nine-inch Pyrex pie plate. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Break the wafers into pieces. Place in processor and make fine crumbs, about one and one-third cups. Add the butter and pulse five to six times or until the crumbs are coated with butter.
- Empty the contents into the pie plate, reserving one tablespoon for garnish. Press the crumbs thickly onto the sides of the pan with a spoon, forming a half-inch border. Use a glass to press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of the dish.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The crust should set, but not brown. Cool and set aside.
- To make the filling, melt the butter in a heavy three-quart saucepan. Stir in the apples, sugars, spices and rind. Bring to a slow boil. Cover and simmer for five minutes. Remove the lid, raise heat slightly and continue to cook the apples for six to eight minutes or until the caramel syrup forms a six- to eight-inch thread when dropped from the tip of a spoon. Stir occasionally. Watch carefully: If the syrup becomes too hot, it will taste bitter and quickly burn.
- Immediately remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the pumpkin, gelatin and salt. Blend well and return to flame. Cook on low heat until the mixture is very hot, stirring constantly.
- Blend the yolks into the half-and-half. Gradually whisk into the filling. Heat slowly to just under boiling, about one-and-a-half to two minutes.
- Empty the filling into a processor. Puree for 45 seconds. Pour into a large bowl and place over ice for five minutes to cool to room temperature. Stir occasionally. The filling can also be cooled in the refrigerator.
- Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, to form a meringue. Beat 30 seconds longer.
- Stir a quarter of the egg whites into filling. Fold in the remaining whites and the toasted pecans at the same time, reserving one tablespoon of nuts for garnish. Mound the filling into the pie shell. Smooth surface with a spoon. Chill until set, about six hours or longer.
- To make the garnish, whip the cream in a chilled bowl. As it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla. Beat until fairly thick. Pipe or spoon around the edge of the pie. Sprinkle the top with the reserved crumbs and nuts.

Tips:
- For the perfect graham cracker crust, use a food processor to finely crush the graham crackers. This will help the crust hold together better.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the graham crackers by placing them in a large zip-top bag and using a rolling pin to crush them.
- To make sure the pie filling sets properly, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the pie filling.
- To add a bit of spice to the pie, add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the pie filling.
- For a more decadent pie, top it with whipped cream or ice cream.
