1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

1 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Streusel

1/2 cup crushed gingersnap cookies (9 cookies)

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Heat oven to 425 F.

Place cookie sheet on oven rack. In large bowl, mix filling ingredients. Pour into pie crust.

Bake on cookie sheet 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F; bake 15 minutes longer. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix streusel ingredients. Sprinkle streusel over filling.
