Basic pumpkin pie is good, but we think this dressed-up version is even better. Plenty of pecans add a nutty crunch to the crust and the streusel topping. It's a perfect dessert for Thanksgiving or any time you want to end a dinner with something special. -Bertha Johnson, Indianapolis, Indiana

Yield
2 pies (8 pieces each)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
- 4 to 5 tablespoons water
- FILLING:
- 1 can (30 ounces) pumpkin pie filling
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- STREUSEL TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cold butter
- Whipped cream, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a bowl, combine flour, pecans and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer circles to two 9-in. pie plates; place crust in pie plates. Trim crusts and flute edges; set aside.
- Combine pie filling, milk and egg; pour into crusts. For topping, combine brown sugar, flour, pecans and cinnamon in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. Cover edges of crusts loosely with foil.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate until serving. If desired, serve with whipped cream.
