Pumpkin: Pumpkin Streusel Pie
Source of Recipe
Sunset Magazine - Sharon Klein
Recipe Introduction
Sharon Klein embellishes a classic pumpkin pie with a streusel topping, then overlaps pastry leaves around the edge and sets a few on top. If making the leaves, double the pastry recipe. Roll out half as directed for crust; roll other half into a 1/8-inch-thick round and use a cookie cutter to make shapes, or place a leaf on dough and cut around it with a small, sharp knife. If making pie up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill.

1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
