Ingredients
- Filling:
- 1 15 oz can of pumpkin
- ½ cup of sugar (or sweeten with a little Splenda to taste)
- 3 large eggs

- Streusel:

- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Preparation
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, blend together all the ingredients for the filling till frothy. (I add the eggs last so I can taste the pumpkin seasoning's to get them how I like them, then add egg).
Step 2
Pour into pie pan and bake 45-50 minutes or until the middle of the pie is still wiggly and the edges have set. About 30 minutes if you're using mini pie pans. (While that wondrous pie is baking mix up the streusel.)
Step 3
The streusel: Whisk together the flour and spices. Stir in the pecans and ginger, then sprinkle on the pie and bake as directed.
Step 4
In the last 10 minutes of baking the pie, sprinkle the streusel topping on it.
