Pumpkin Pie With A Brown Sugar Walnut Topping Recipes

BROWN FAMILY'S FAVORITE PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour filling into pie shell.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Blend in the cold butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Mix in the chopped nuts. Sprinkle the topping over the pie.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake an additional 40 minutes, or until set.

Bake pie for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted one inch from the edge comes out clean. Cool and garnish as desired.

PUMPKIN PIE WITH A BROWN SUGAR-WALNUT TOPPING

Steps:

• To make the topping, pulverize the ingredients in a food process by switching the processor on and off. To make sure that once ground, the topping has a fine crumb texture, you should take care that the walnuts in the topping do not excrete any oil, as this will turn the topping into a mass.
• Place the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and set the oven to preheat to 350 °F. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, fold the edges and crimp decoratively along the edges. First, freeze the pie shell for 20 minutes, then line it with foil and fill it with dried beans or dried rice to weigh the crust down.
• Now, bake the crust in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and the weights, and bake for another 15 minutes. While baking, if any bubbles form, press them down with the back of a spoon or poke them with a fork to release the air. When baked, the crust should have golden brown edges, but should not be completely cooked. Take it out of the oven to cool.
• In a medium bowl whisk the brown sugar, eggs, and spices, then add the pumpkin and cream. The filling should be thoroughly blended and lump-free. Tip the prepared filling into the pie shell, then bake for 30 minutes until the filling has set. In case the crust starts browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil collar.
• Take out of the oven and dredge the pie with the topping. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for 15 more minutes until the custard is fully set and slightly puffed up. Once baked, leave it to cool completely before serving.

TRADITIONAL PUMPKIN PIE WITH A WALNUT-CRUNCH TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the walnuts, brown sugar and maple syrup in a small mixing bowl.
• Combine the pumpkin, milk, sugar, eggs, spices and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Transfer 3/4 cup of the walnut-sugar mixture to the bottom of the pie shell. Pour pumpkin batter over the walnut mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F; bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the pie's center comes out clean).
• Cool pie on a baker's wire rack. Meanwhile, add butter to the remaining walnut-sugar mixture; stir until moistened. Sprinkle over the cooled pie. Broil about 5-inches form heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbly. Cool before serving.
• Provide your guests with their choice of sweetened whipped cream or French vanilla ice cream with a sprinkling of orange zest, and get ready for the applause!

VANILLA WALNUT PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Place the pumpkin halves in a large saucepan, and fill with water to barely cover. Bring the pan to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the pumpkin until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the pumpkin and scoop out the pumpkin meat; discard the peel. Mash the pumpkin until smooth.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 cups of the mashed pumpkin in a large bowl, and stir in the milk, coffee creamer, eggs, brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon until the mixture is well combined. Spoon the filling into the pie crust, and bake in the preheated oven until the pie filling is firm and cooked through, about 1 hour.
