This is a nice alternative to pumpkin pie, with a thick cookie crust and streusel topping.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • Filling:
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • dash nutmeg
  • dash ground cloves
  • Topping:
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup pecan pieces

PREPARATION:

Combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecan pieces in a food processor. Process until pecans are finely ground. Add the 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 egg; pulse until well blended. Press over bottom and up sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare pumpkin mixture and streusel. Beat 2 large eggs with 1/3 cup sugar, 1 cup pumpkin, the evaporated milk, salt, and spices. In another bowl, combine the 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1/4 cup pecan pieces. Set aside.

Pour the pumpkin filling mixture into hot crust and return to oven. Bake for 20 minutes longer; sprinkle with streusel and bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until topping lightly browned.

Cool in pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Remove sides of pan and cool completely. Serve with whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator.

Serves 8 to 10.
