Walnut Crumble Pumpkin Pie
Pie Crust
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, chilled
1/4 cup ice water (or less)
Cookie Pie Crust
12 Triple Ginger Snaps (Trader Joes)
4 sheets Honey Graham Crackers
3 T butter melted
Pie Filling
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups of pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup coconut milk
Walnut Crumble Topping
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Pie Crust
In a food processor, place the flour, salt, and sugar and process until combined. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour half of the water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube until the dough just holds together when pinched. Add remaining water, if necessary.
Turn the dough out onto your work surface. Flatten the dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour before using. This will chill the butter and allow the gluten in the flour to relax. At this point you can also freeze the dough for later use.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to fit into a 8 or 9 inch tart pan. To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll (always roll from the center of the pastry outwards to get uniform thickness). To make sure it is the right size, take your tart pan, flip it over, and place it on the rolled out pastry. The pastry should be about an inch larger than your pan.
