For the Streusel Topping:

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, very chilled
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

1 _ Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2 _ In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and egg yolks (reserve egg whites for later).

3 _ Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

4 _ In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour filling into pie shell.

5 _ Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping.

6 _ For 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.
