Layered Walnut Pumpkin Pie image

I like this pumpkin pie because it is slightly different from most. It has a lighter texture. Presentation is nice because the pie is layered. I believe the original recipe came from Diamond Walnuts. Since I never have pumpkin pie spice around, I use 1/2 teaspoon each of ginger & cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg as a substitution. Although there are a lot of steps, the pie comes together easily. NOTE: Cooking time=chilling time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but not as visually appealing.
