Streusel Topped Pumpkin Pie

Honestly, I do not care much for traditional pumpkin pie. In fact, as a kid I ate ice cream for my Thanksgiving dessert instead of a slice of pie. But guys, this pie has changed me! I am a sucker for texture and nuts so when my mom passed along this recipe to me I had to give it a shot and holy freakin moly! I actually ate a whole slice of pumpkin pie for the first time in my life! My husband even said it is the best pumpkin pie and he already LOVES regular pumpkin pie.

Ingredients for Streusel Pumpkin Pie:

  • Pie Dough– This homemade pie crust recipe is my favorite! It’s buttery, tender, and flaky!
  • Pumpkin Puree– All you need is one 15 ounce can. I prefer the brand Libby (it has the most vibrant color).
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk– This is basically liquid sugar and adds just the right amount of sweetness to your pie.
  • Eggs– The eggs are separated in this recipe. The yolks are mixed into the batter while the whites are beaten to soft peaks and then folded in the batter.
  • Warm Spices– For that classic pumpkin pie flavor, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg are used as well as a little salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Streusel Topping– This is made with a combination of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and finely chopped walnuts. This creates a sweet, crispy, crunchy topping that makes the pie irresistible!

FAQs

Can I make this in advance?

Yes! And you should! Make this pie the day before you feast and store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

How to prevent pie crust from getting soggy?

To prevent pie crust from getting soggy, place your oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Using a pizza stone will also help cook the bottom crust faster. Place your pizza stone on the oven rack before turning on the oven.

Why place the pie on a baking sheet?

This isn’t required, it just makes transferring then pie easier and prevents ruining the edges of the crust with your oven mitts.

How to store pie?

According to the FDA pumpkin pie should be stored in the fridge for 2-4 days. I honestly keep my pie at room temperature on my counter until ready to serve the next day.

TOOLS USED TO MAKE THIS PUMPKIN PIE:

  • Metal 9 inch Pie Plate or Glass 9-inch Pie Plate– Both pans work great and are very affordable. These type of pans produce a better crust than ceramic.
  • Pastry Blender – This is a necessity for making pastries like pie dough and comes in handy for crumb toppings.
  • Pyrex Mixing Bowls with Lids– I love my mixing bowls with lids because then I am able to stack things up with the fridge. Plus, glass is nice for when I need to microwave whatever is in it.
