LAYERED WALNUT PUMPKIN PIE



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.

WALNUT PUMPKIN PIE



Walnut Pumpkin Pie image

A slightly different pumpkin pie as it has a crumb topping. Prep time does not include making a homemade pie crust. (Response to review, cutting in the butter is a technique to incorporate the butter into a dry mixture using a pastry blender or two knives. HTH!)
