I was planning to make a traditional pumpkin pie using a recipe from my tried and true Betty Crocker cookbook when DD Megan mentioned that she had made this pie and that it was really good. So, we had a new pie for our Thanksgiving feast this year. Megan has posted it on her blog but I will also post it since I know some of my readers cannot access blogspot.
Streusel Topped Pumpkin Pie
Pie Filling:
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. ginger
1.4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 large eggs
Streusel Topping:
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ginger
2 Tbsps. chilled butter
1 prepared pie shell (unbaked)
Combine filling ingredients and whisk together.
Combine streusel dry ingredients and cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pie shell. Top with streusel. Bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 mins. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Enjoy a new twist on pumpkin pie!

Would 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice work just as well?

Ann, I’m sure the pumpkin pie spice would work fine. Be sure to check to see if it contains cloves. I love just a hint of cloves in pumpkin pie!

It still makes me laugh – I made the pumpkin pies one year (the traditional kind) with ground cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger as spices. The home ec teacher present quizzed me on the ingredients. When I said the secret ingredient to making a good pumpkin pie was ground cloves she wasn’t so happy. It turned out she had a strong mental aversion to clove.

What a coincidence! I made a streusel-topped pumpkin pie this year, but mine did not have the oats. We really liked it. I have always used the recipe on the back of the Libby’s pumpkin pie can for my pumpkin pie. I prefer using the evaporated milk to using the sweetened condensed. I am definitely a believer in the cloves! They “make” a pumpkin pie!
