Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Topping:
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of fine sea salt
Crust:
1 12-inch round Pie Crust
For filling:
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • For topping:
  • Combine all ingredients. Using on/ off turns, blend to fine crumbs. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
  • For crust:
  • Position oven rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Transfer crust to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edges under and crimp decoratively. Freeze crust 20 minutes.
  • Line crust with nonstick foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Gently remove foil and beans. Return crust to oven and bake until partially cooked and golden brown around edges, pressing down on crust with back of spoon if bubbles form, about 15 minutes. Cool crust on rack. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For filling:
  • Whisk brown sugar, eggs, sea salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in medium bowl. Add pumpkin and cream and whisk until well blended and smooth.
  • Pour filling into crust. Bake pie until filling is firm, covering crust with foil collar if browning too quickly, about 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle topping evenly over top of pie. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F; continue to bake pie until filling is set and slightly puffed in center, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Tent with foil and chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.

Overall, I thought this pumpkin pie was good but not great. The crust was a little too thick and the filling was a bit bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice to the filling.

I made this pie for my family and they loved it! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was smooth and creamy.

This pumpkin pie with brown sugar walnut topping was a hit at our Thanksgiving gathering! The combination of sweet pumpkin, crunchy walnuts, and gooey brown sugar was irresistible.
