The holidays just aren’t complete without gingerbread — but who says it has to come in the form of cutout cookies? Knock tradition on its ear, and meld gingerbread into a pumpkin pie! The flavor difference is subtle enough that pumpkin pie connoisseurs won’t be let down. Yet it’s bold enough to intrigue and even please those who are a little iffy about the classic version.

Ingredients
THE PIE, PREPARE
- ½ Recipe Flaky Pie Dough
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Packed light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. Molasses
- 1 can Pumpkin purée (15 oz.)
- 1 tbsp. Grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp. Table salt
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with foil.
The Pie
- Prepare pie dough according to recipe and rolling directions. Prick dough with a fork and chill 15 minutes. Line the pie shell with foil and fill with dried beans or rice. Bake shell 15–20 minutes; remove foil and beans. Bake crust until golden, 10–12 minutes; let cool to room temperature.
- Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, and molasses until combined. Add pumpkin purée, grated ginger, pumpkin pie spice, and salt; stir to combine.
- Stir in cream until mixture is smooth; pour into pie shell and bake until set, about 40 minutes.
The Streusel
- Combine gingersnaps, pecans, crystallized ginger, and butter until gingersnaps are saturated with butter.
- Scatter streusel generously over center of pie. If edge of crust is golden, cover with a pie shield; return to oven.
- Bake pie until center is set, pie puffs in center, and streusel is crisp, 15–20 minutes more. Remove pie from oven; let cool on a rack to room temperature before serving.
