Pumpkin Pie with Walnut and Brown Sugar Crust

Ingredients

Chopped almonds - ½ cup
Brown Sugar - 1¼ cups

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the walnuts, ¼ cup of sugar, half of the cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 356°F (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the pastry in a round baking dish and trim the excess from the edges. Gently press it down and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then place a sheet of foil over the pastry and fill it with beans or grains. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and grains and bake until set and golden, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Combine the brown sugar, eggs, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Add the pumpkin puree and cream. Mix well.

Step 4

Pour the filling into the pastry and bake for 30 minutes. If the pastry starts to burn, cover it with foil.

Step 5

Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle with the nut mixture. Reduce the oven temperature to 320°F (320 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the pie for another 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool.
