Perfect Pumpkin Pie With Streusel Topping

Submitted by AmyZoe

"This recipe assumes you're a Dutch Oven chef, and it would be a fantastic pie to have in the middle of nowhere. If you want to get invited on a camping trip, just tell them what you'll be making for dessert (you might need to double or triple the recipe though). Or, make it at home and just use the oven temperatures. Depending on your oven and altitude, it might need a little more cooking time (mine did). This recipe is simple, but it looks like it was a lot of work. I cheated and found Marie Callendar's pie crusts on sale instead of making homemade this time. This recipe came from Best of the Best from Idaho Cookbook and originally came from the cookbook Potatoes Are Not the Only Vegetable!"
