Walnut-Streusel Pumpkin Pie
I'm a fan of streusel topping, cream cheese desserts and pumpkin pie, so I combined them in one beautiful recipe. — Deborah Paulson, Deer Park, Washington

This was far too sweet but was really good other than that. (Like another, I also wondered if it should have been evaporated milk.) I also wanted more of a cream cheese layer. So for my personal taste, I'll keep the recipe and adjust it.
I made this recipe today and it was a hit! I followed the recipe but I divided the filling into 2 pies as it looks like it would overflow and I made a double batch of the Streusel. No regrets.. 2 pies and they turned out perfectly!!
I was expecting this too be good, but it was not worth the effort. It was too rich/sweet. The pumpkin part was VERY sweet and the flavor too concentrated. I wonder if the sweetened condensed milk is really supposed to be evaporated milk?
I like streusel topping however, am not a fan of nuts, so I substituted crushed graham crackers for the nuts. I built up the crust so it more fully contained the filling without spilling over. A very tasty pie! Regarding the cream cheese layer, I spent a little extra time to put it on the pumpkin layer in small spoonfuls so this helped to keep it from sinking too much into the pumpkin layer.
I have made your recipe a few times now and everyone loves it. Thank you, it will be a favorite for our family.
I have made this three times, and each pie turned out perfectly!! So yummy, we didn't even need whipped cream! Here is a tip: double a single crust recipe to fit a deep dish pie pan to fit all of the filling.
Great version of a classic. I would recommend though that you make your own deep dish pie crust, because I bought one and all the filling didn't fit. I ended up taking some of the pumpkin filling out before putting on the cream cheese layer. I guess I didn't take enough because it still bubbled over. Still delicious though! It's a keeper!

Had just received the magazine. Made Thanksgiving morning. It's almost gone now. Great recipe. The cream cheese filling sinks into the pumpkin and it's hard to spread evenly. But, who cares?
really good, not too sweet
