Ingredients

Streusel Crust and Crumble

3/4 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1.5 cups flour
2/3 cup butter, chilled and cut into 1/2" pieces
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh grated or 1/4 teaspoon ground
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Pumpkin Pie Filling

2 eggs
15 ounces pumpkin
12 ounces evaporated milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh grated
1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spread the pecan halves or pieces on a large baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, stirring several times, until the pecans are slightly darker in color and fragrant.
Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, add the slightly cooled, chopped pecans and the remainder of the streusel ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles course crumbs.
Press HALF of the mixture into the bottom of a 9" or 10" pie plate, keeping a consistent thickness throughout.
In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin pie filling unil well combined.
Pour into the crust and bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Placing a large baking sheet on the rack below the pie to catch crumbs, sprinkle the other half of the streusel mixture on top of the pie.
Bake for 35-45 minutes until the center is set, and a knife inserted into the center comes out relatively clean, and the streusel is golden.
Cool to room temperature to serve.

Notes

Pie plates can have a variance of depth. Depending on what size/depth used, there may be a small amount of extra pumpkin pie filling.
