Steps:
- Set rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9 inch pie plate. Set aside.
- Spread nuts over a baking pan. Toast for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the smell of nuts fills the kitchen. Set aside 16 pecan halves for garnish.
- Combine oats, flour, remaining pecans, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor bowl. Pulse until mixture becomes a coarse meal. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Whisk together oil and 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and mix into dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Press mixture into prepared pie plate. Crimp edges. Bake for 10 minutes, and set aside to cool.
- Blend soymilk and arrowroot in the food processor until the arrowroot is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 15 seconds.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned puree. If you can, try to make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin in the oven and then pureeing it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the crust tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help the dough to be less sticky and easier to work with.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. A sharp knife will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Pecan crusted pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is sure to please everyone. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and crunchy pecan topping, this pie is a perfect way to end a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.
