Pumpkin Almond Pie
"A pumpkin pie topped with slivered almonds. I like this pumpkin pie because it is a little bit different than your typical pumpkin pie and it looks a little nicer than a plain old pumpkin pie."

Leave it to someone named Pumpkinhead to post great pumpkin recipies. We really liked this pie, kind of a cross between pumpkin and pecan pie (with almonds of course) Just different and interesting. Fairly sweet but that was good because I was satisfied with a small piece;) I did have a problem with it not filling my deep dish pie pan. I might try doubling the pumpkin layer and see how that goes. K-
