PUMPKIN PIE WITH A BROWN SUGAR-WALNUT TOPPING

Steps:

• To make the topping, pulverize the ingredients in a food process by switching the processor on and off. To make sure that once ground, the topping has a fine crumb texture, you should take care that the walnuts in the topping do not excrete any oil, as this will turn the topping into a mass.
• Place the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and set the oven to preheat to 350 °F. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, fold the edges and crimp decoratively along the edges. First, freeze the pie shell for 20 minutes, then line it with foil and fill it with dried beans or dried rice to weigh the crust down.
• Now, bake the crust in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and the weights, and bake for another 15 minutes. While baking, if any bubbles form, press them down with the back of a spoon or poke them with a fork to release the air. When baked, the crust should have golden brown edges, but should not be completely cooked. Take it out of the oven to cool.
• In a medium bowl whisk the brown sugar, eggs, and spices, then add the pumpkin and cream. The filling should be thoroughly blended and lump-free. Tip the prepared filling into the pie shell, then bake for 30 minutes until the filling has set. In case the crust starts browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil collar.
• Take out of the oven and dredge the pie with the topping. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for 15 more minutes until the custard is fully set and slightly puffed up. Once baked, leave it to cool completely before serving.
