AWESOME!!! My family loved this recipe. I guess I'd fallen into the rut of making "tradition" pumpkin pie, and was anxious for a change when I found this one. I didn't whip the whites as other reviewers hadn't; I don't feel it altered the texture Also omitted the ginger (as a personal choice). Fantastic all the way through. Didn't last long and this was just a trial run before Thanksgiving...it WILL be made again for the holiday!

Ridiculous topping! It was too moist as I was making it and so sticky and moist as I was putting it on and after baking, it's hard! Who puts toppings on pumpkin pies anyway?!? Good pie though...not sure if the cooking time is long enough.

I like to "test" pies on my family so I can decide what pies to make for Thanksgiving. My family LOVED this pie! I used pecans instead of walnuts in the topping because that's all I had - I followed the rest of the recipe to the letter and it was wonderful!! Thanks for a great recipe!

My husband said to give it 3 stars...then the next day he said it was much better. It must have been because he took the week to eat the entire pie by himself. I thought it was good too and I don't even care for pumpkin pie. I'll be making this next year.

I made this pie a few weeks ago for my husband and some friends. I followed the recipe exactly, but used fresh pumpkin puree instead. I made a mistake with the streusel layer and over-mixed it, so it looked more like cinnamon-roll filling than of a crumb topping. I dropped it in spoonfuls all over the pie before I baked it. My friend said it was the best pie he'd ever eaten, and he's pretty picky. I made it again, this time getting the streusel right, and my husband said it was good, but not as good as my first attempt. I am going to make it again, and really soften the butter in the streusel, almost to melting, and drop it on top of the pie and draw it through with a knife all over. I also added the spices for the pie again into the topping (to make it a little spicier). Great pie (though I can't eat it)! This will be my standard pumpkin pie recipe from now on.

My husband insisted that I rate/review this recipe. He said it was the best pumpkin pie he ever had. He usually goes for the apple pies but he turned his nose up at it after tasting the pumpkin. Yummy!

This pie was great. I personally am not a fan of pumpkin piebut I wanted to make one for my husband as a trial run for the holidays. He loved it. I even tried a bite of his and I liked it. This was so easy. As a person that works full-time and goes to school. This is as close to scratch as I'm going to get that fits into my schedule. Thanks for the great recipe.

This is a great pie and makes for a beautiful presentation. I subbed pecans which we prefer over walnut. Fantastic! Thanks.

I have to agree with everyone else regarding this recipe, it is excellant. I added 1/4 t cloves because I love them in anything sweet, and used pecans in stead of walnuts for the topping. It was a great and easy pie with -never fail pie crust II- from this site.

Very good. My only change would be that next time I will melt butter to add to the topping. I don't like a powdery topping. My husband raved on this though and though it was better than traditional pumpkin pie.

I'm giving this a 4 because I didn't add the toping so I can't really rate the full recipe. I did love this recipe though, nice light flavour. I used fresh pumpkin puree. Next time I might add a little more spices though but it was great. My egg whites for whatever reason didn't want to stiffen up but it still turned out nice and fluffy. For those who want to make small pies, for me it made 7.

I made this with a graham cracker crust instead and it was delicious! Had MANY requests for the recipe. I did have a fair bit of leftover filling, but just put it in a ramekin and baked it alongside the pie for a little taste test preview. :)

YUM. I made 2 pies out of it with frozen pie shells, and the topping made it go pretty much to the crust. Next time though, I'll make a deep dish pie crust and just fill it up, and maybe put topping on one half of it, just because although it was yummy, I do enjoy just the pumpkin, without any added stuff. Will definitely use this pumpkin pie recipe from now on!
