Stellar! I have made a lot of pumpkin pies and this is my favorite. It is light and tasty. I prepared the pumpkin as Alton shows. I used a sugar pie pumpkin which is essential. In the past I have gone the steaming and food mill method. Baking the pumpkin works beautifully! For my ginger snaps, I used Trader Joe's triple ginger snaps which are themselves outstanding. I did use more snaps than called for -- probably 8 ounces and 2 ounces of butter were needed to get enough crumbs to fill my pie pan. I used the fresh nutmeg and added nothing more than the recipe called for. My husband and I have eaten 1/2 the pie. It was that good.

I love Alton, I have many of his books and have learned to bake only because of reading his techniques in his books but this recipe is terrible, sorry Alton
I can't even believe Alto created this it's so bad
Really the best recipe for a good old fashioned Pumpkin pie is on the back pf the Libby's Pumpkin can.

Worst recipe ever! I am a huge Alton fan, but this was a complete disaster. The finished baked pie filling tastes like RAW pumpkin. It needs more sweetening and is completely inedible as described. What a colossal failure on Alton's part. My confidence in Alton's culinary science is significantly shaken.
