I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute another type of crust?

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The crust was too dry and the filling was bland. I think I'll stick to my old pumpkin pie recipe.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pumpkin flavor is浓郁 and the crust is flaky and delicious.

I made this torte for my family last weekend and it was a huge success! The pumpkin filling was perfectly spiced and the crust was nice and crispy. Even my picky kids loved it.

This potluck pumpkin torte was a hit at our Thanksgiving gathering! Everyone raved about the creamy, flavorful filling and the flaky, buttery crust. I'll definitely be making this again for Christmas.
