DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS

Kid-Friendly, Low Sodium, Vegetarian

  • Pastry dough for 1 pie crust
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk (skim or low-fat)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (slightly heaping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon each: ground nutmeg, ground ginger and cloves (slightly heaping)
  • 2 eggs

For The Streusel:

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with pastry dough; turn under excess dough to fit dish and flute decoratively.
  2. Whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, milk, spices and eggs until smooth and pour into pastry.
  3. Stir together streusel ingredients in a medium bowl with a fork and carefully sprinkle over pie.
  4. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, tenting with foil if crust browns too quickly. Let cool completely before serving.
  5. For an extra ginger kick, top pie with a ginger whipped cream. Whip heavy cream with a little powdered sugar to lightly sweeten, then stir in finely chopped crystallized ginger to taste.

This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.
