TRADITIONAL PUMPKIN PIE WITH A WALNUT-CRUNCH TOPPING
The tried and true pumpkin pie takes on a culinary twist with the addition of a gooey-crunchy walnut topping, the zing of maple, and a delicate sprinkling of orange zest. This creamy pumpkin delight will be a hit on its own, but you can sweeten the deal by topping it off with ample amounts of whipped cream or a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Toss the walnuts, brown sugar and maple syrup in a small mixing bowl.
- Combine the pumpkin, milk, sugar, eggs, spices and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Transfer 3/4 cup of the walnut-sugar mixture to the bottom of the pie shell. Pour pumpkin batter over the walnut mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F; bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the pie's center comes out clean).
- Cool pie on a baker's wire rack. Meanwhile, add butter to the remaining walnut-sugar mixture; stir until moistened. Sprinkle over the cooled pie. Broil about 5-inches form heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbly. Cool before serving.
- Provide your guests with their choice of sweetened whipped cream or French vanilla ice cream with a sprinkling of orange zest, and get ready for the applause!
