October Pie (Walnut-Pumpkin)
Two of my favorite Autumn pies in one: Walnut and Pumpkin. This is my own recipe that I developed from of similar concepts I've seen. It turned out delicious! Not as rich as a pure nut pie and something a bit more hearty than a pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin Layer:
1 egg
1 cup solid pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1 T molasses
1/4 tsp salt
Mix together with a wire whisk and spread over your favorite uncooked pie crust.
Walnut Layer:
2/3 cup light corn syrup
3 T butter, melted
1/2 T molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup broken walnuts
Whisk together all ingredients except nuts until smooth. Stir in walnuts. Pour over pumpkin layer.
Bake at 350ºF for 50 - 55 minutes or until set. Cool before cutting.
