directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray a 9 inch pie plate.
- Spread nuts over a baking pan.
- Toast for 7-10 minutes on middle shelf, or until the smell of nuts fills the kitchen.
- Combine oats, flour, remaining pecans, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor.
- Pulse until mixture becomes a coarse meal. Whisk together applesauce and 3 tablespoons maple syrup.
- Mix into dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
- Press mixture into pie plate. Crimp edges. Bake for 10 minutes, and set aside to cool.
- Using a whisk, dissolve the cornstarch in the milk.
- Add pumpkin, 1/2 cup maple syrup, salt and spices.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour filling into crust, and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the outside inch of the filling is set. Don't worry if the center is still soft; it firms up as the pie cools. Transfer pie to a wire the rack.
- Cool to room temperature, and then chill until set, about 3 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
