1 9 inch pie
ingredients
-
For the Pumpkin Filling
- 1 1⁄2 cups evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (about 1 1/4 envelopes)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 cups pumpkin
-
For the Topping
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 2⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pinch salt
directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F Roll out the dough and fit in into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and flute the edges, then bake the pie shell fully. Cool completely before filling.
- To make the filling, whisk together the evaporated milk and gelatin in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Let stand for a few minutes to soften the gelatin. Add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt then whisk until blended. Add the eggs and sugar and whisk again until blended and smooth.
- Cook over moderate heat, whisking almost constantly, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly and you see wisps of steam rising, but do not let it boil.
- Remove from the heat and add the pumpkin, then whisk until completely smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight if you prefer. The filling will become firm as it cools.
- To make the topping, preheat the broiler and position a rack so that the surface of the pie will be about 4 inches from the heat. Combine the walnuts, brown sugar, salt and butter in a small bowl and stir briskly with a fork until evenly mixed. Spread over the surface of the cooled pie.
- Broil for about 2 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly. Watch the pie closely during this time, and rotate it once or twice as necessary so the topping browns evenly.
- Let cool before serving. The topping may be broiled several hours ahead; although it will lose a little of its crunch, it will still be very good.
