RECIPE FEATURES

• Family Favorite: We love this version of pumpkin pie. The topping adds structure to the pie that gives a delightful crunch in every bite.
• Customizable: I opted for a classic pie crust, however a graham cracker crust would be equally delicious!
• Make Ahead: You can make this pie up tp four days in advance. Keep stored, lightly covered, inside the refrigerator.

This pie recipe is different. It has all of the classic pumpkin pie flavors with the addition of a crunchy streusel topping. And when I say streusel, I mean a crumbly spiced topping that has the perfect balance of flour, salted butter, and spices.It is a dreamy combination. The sweetness of the pumpkin pie paired with the slightly salty topping is heavenly and hard not to love. A very fun twist on a classic pie recipe.

CINNAMON STREUSEL TOPPED PUMPKIN PIE

You don’t need much to make this easy pie recipe. The ingredient list is short and the results are incredibly delicious.

• Sugar: Both white sugar, for the pie, and brown sugar for the crumble topping.
• Spices: Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt. These are used in both the pie and the topping. Alternatively, you can use pumpkin pie spice.
• Eggs: Large eggs provide structure to the pie, which in turn keeps it sturdy to hold the topping.
• Pumpkin: Canned pumpkin comes in two forms. For this recipe, be sure you opt for pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling.
• Evaporated Milk: Evaporated milk is a thicker version of the dairy product. It makes it easier for the custard pie to thicken and leaves a creamier finish.
• Pie Crust: Store bought or homemade. You cannot go wrong either way. My secret favorite is the premade pie crusts in the freezer section of most grocers. They hold up well in the oven and come inside a pie tin. Perfect for gifting.
• Flour: All-Purpose flour gives structure to the topping.
• Butter: Salted butter cut into the flour provides the crumb.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN PIE WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

• PREP: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. To start the pumpkin pie with streusel topping, whisk together the white sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and ground cloves called for in the pie filling.
• MIX: Slowly stir the eggs and pumpkin into the spices. Add the evaporated milk and gently stir until combined.
• BAKE: Pour the batter into the pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake an additional 30 minutes.
• TOPPING: While the pie is baking, cut the butter and flour together using forks until crumbly. Toss in the topping spices. After the 30 minute bake, remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle with the streusel. Place back into the oven and continue to bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden on the top.

HELPFUL TOOLS

• Pie Pans: New to my collection, I am slightly obsessed with the elegant look of this white pie pan (affiliate).
• Pie Shield: There is nothing more frustrating than baking a perfect pie only to have the edges turn crisp. A pie shield (affiliate) is the perfect way to stop that from happening. Made from silicone, so the edges are easily put in place before baking.
• Pie Knife: Pull out the PERFECT slice with the help of this shaped pie server (affiliate).
