Wincie Hughes' Arkansas Pumpkin Pie

"A streusel-topped pumpkin pie that won top honors for Wincie Hughes of North Little Rock, Ark., when Procter & Gamble's Crisco division still sponsored an annual pie contest state-by-state. Also first place at the Arkansas State Fair for originality. I clipped this from the San Diego Union-Tribune years ago and have enjoyed this pie at Thanksgiving many times since. The recipe has cropped up from time to time as "Arkansas' Best Pumpkin Pie.""

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in San Diego and travel frequently to China as a tour leader and travel consultant. Although I have been known to chow down on coconut grubs and ant eggs on my trips to China, when I'm cooking at home, my tastes run to European: Mediterranean, Provencal, Tuscan. I also like just about anything that Bobby Flay cooks up, and I love how he puts together a plate with American regional cuisines. I enjoy the art of travel, savoring local food as a part of my experience. In America, the places that make a great destination for me again and again are New Orleans, Santa Fe, Seattle, Key West, San Antonio and New York. Abroad, I do love Provence, France; the Amalfi Coast; Santorini, Greece; Moorea, Tahiti; Hong Kong and then there's my bucket list... My S/O lives in Las Vegas, so I spend quite a bit of time there but at home I unwind with my two Weimaraners and young Vizsla, do some gardening, reading, cooking, dog training and planning my (or someone else's) next trip. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
