Today I decided to make this delicious Pumpkin Walnut Pie! This is the typical standard pumpkin pie recipe that I usually use from Allrecipes. I love using it for holiday events because it's simple and easy to make, while also impressive and provides enough for most family dinners! In terms of baking the pie, I ended up baking it at 425F for 15 minutes as indicated and then baking it for 40 min at 350F. Some tips for baking the pie include grating fresh ginger rather than ground ginger. I started doing this a few years ago, as I never seemed to have ground ginger around the house, but my mom always had fresh ginger and I find it adds an extra kick to the pie! Typically for the pie crust I usually buy a pre-made one, unless I feel really ambitious. The brand I usually use is Tenderflake and I like to use the deep dish pie version, as I always end up making a lot more filling than I expect.
The only new addition I really changed this time around was by using walnut halves and placing them around the perimeter of the pie and one full walnut in the middle of the pie. Also, to determine if the pie is ready try using a toothpick or use your finger to see if it's firm enough. In terms of cooling, I would allow about 30-45 minutes depending on how warm you like your pie. 15 minutes if you like it right out of the oven. If you'd like to try different variations, you can look at some of my previous posts usually posted around October-December from past years. Some variations I've done include pecans or cheesecake, and my dad always likes to add whipped cream on top no matter what dessert it is. Overall, I hope you enjoyed this review and keep on baking! Merry Christmas :)
