FUN MEMORY: My first Thanksgiving, I wanted to make a pumpkin pie, but not just any pumpkin pie. I wanted something unique from the typical recipe. I was reading through all my food magazines and happened to come across a recipe that involved making a streusel topping for a pumpkin pie. The thought just sounded like a perfect combination. Not only does it sound like a perfect combination, but it truly is my favorite pumpkin pie recipe BY FAR! I have tweaked my recipe slightly to my own personal taste from the original recipe that gave me the inspiration. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Tip #1: 
I highly recommend investing in a pie crust shield. This will help prevent your crust from over baking before the pie is done cooking. Typically they have a non-stick finish and fits most 9″ and 10″ diameter pies. They are also dishwasher safe! Ranges from $4-$8.
Tip #2: Looking to reduce just a few calories? Use Fat-Free Evaporated Milk and Fat Free Cool Whip!
