- 1 can Pumpkin Puree (homemade or canned)
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar (or coconut sugar for healthier option)
- 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)
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, spices, salt, bourbon, and evaporated milk until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into your unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the streusel mixture over the pumpkin filling.
- Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until the streusel is golden and bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least one hour before refrigerating for a minimum of two hours.
