I have been making this for Christmas and Thanksgiving for the past 3 years now. It is my favorite pumpkin pie now. I get requests for this recipe every time I make it. It is an outstanding pie. Thanks for listing it! If your topping does not cover your crust edge you do need to cover the edge of the crust with foil or a pie ring. One time I forgot to add the sugar to the topping and I hardly even noticed it.

Wonderful and WOW! I used fresh cooked field pumpkin (weighed out on a mailing scale) and added egg, condensed milk, cinnamon, fresh ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of fresh minced ginger, and salt and ran it all through a blender until frothy. I mixed it in a blender as the rind of the "fresh" pumpkin was 6 months old and a little more firm under the peeled skin than the rest. It produced a very lightly spiced filling that set up very nicely. Worried that the fresh pumpkin pulp may have more moisture than canned pumpkin, I added 1 teaspoon of corn starch to the blender mix to make sure that it would "set" when cooked. I was a little short on walnuts so I used a mixture of walnuts, almonds, and granola for the topping. I used a silicone ring to prevent edge burn. As said, it was lightly spiced, very light, and the crunch topping made a crowd pleaser. I have to make another one tomorrow. Thanks to Marg for a great recipe. Jim in So. Calif.
