Recipe Introduction


A candied layer of walnuts is broiled on top of this creamy pumpkin pie for an elegant version of this traditional holiday dessert. Sort of a Pumpkin Pie Brûlée for the pilgrim set!




List of Ingredients




1 9-inch deep-dish pie shell, unbaked
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 can (15-oz.) LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fl. oz.) CARNATION Evaporated Milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, melted


Recipe



PREHEAT oven to 425°F.

COMBINE walnuts and brown sugar in small bowl. Place 3/4 cup nut-sugar mixture on bottom of pie shell. Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and salt in medium bowl; mix well. Pour into pie shell.

BAKE for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

COMBINE butter and remaining nut-sugar mixture; stir until moistened. Sprinkle over cooled pie. Broil about 5 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly. Cool before serving.
