Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, maple extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread evenly. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the filling is set, about 30 minutes more. (30 minutes)

06

Step

While the pie is baking, prepare the walnut topping: In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Cut in the cold, cubed butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Stir in the chopped walnuts. (1 minute)

09

Step

Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the walnut topping evenly over the filling. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is completely set. (10 minutes)

11

Step

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. (60 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, use a high-quality maple extract.
To prevent the crust from burning, you can cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
The pie is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Feel free to add a pinch of ground cloves for extra warmth.
Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
