Ingredients

• 1 store-bought or homemade (9-inch) pie crust
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups, chopped and toasted walnuts
• 1 tablespoons, melted unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is velvety and well incorporated.

Step 5

Spread the chopped and toasted walnuts evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin filling over the walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Brush the edge of the crust lightly with melted butter to encourage a golden brown finish.

Step 8

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 10

Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional chopped toasted walnuts for garnish.
