Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Prepared graham cracker crust
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed (for topping)
- 3 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the graham cracker crust on a baking sheet for stability.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Beat in the egg until the mixture is creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly into the graham cracker crust and spread it with a spatula to create a smooth layer. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Add the 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the pumpkin mixture gently over the cream cheese layer, being careful not to disturb the bottom layer. Use a spatula to spread the pumpkin mixture evenly.
In a small bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and cubed butter. Use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Sprinkle the streusel nut topping evenly over the pumpkin layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Pumpkin Cream Cheese Layer Pie with Streusel Nut Topping!
