  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger (adjust to taste)
  • 3 large Eggs (no substitutes necessary)
  • 1 cup Evaporated Milk (or half-and-half for richness)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon (adds unique flavor)
  • 1/2 cup Butter (or dairy-free margarine for vegan version)
  • 1 cup Pecans (substitute walnuts or almonds if desired)
  • 1/2 cup Flour (gluten-free all-purpose flour is an alternative)
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (flaky sea salt for best flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, spices, salt, bourbon, and evaporated milk until smooth.
  3. Pour the pumpkin filling into your unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  5. While baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, then mix in brown sugar, sea salt, flour, and pecans until crumbly.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the streusel mixture over the pumpkin filling.
  7. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until the streusel is golden and bubbly.
  8. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least one hour before refrigerating for a minimum of two hours.
