  • 1/4 cup applesauce, unsweetened (might need 2 tbs more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • For the pumpkin yogurt filling
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (I used a home-made one)

Method

  • For the crust combine flour, ground walnuts, chopped walnuts, applesauce, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. If mixture does not come together, add a tbs or so more applesauce.
  • Press mixture into a greased pie plate of 24 cm/9 inch in diameter.
  • For the filling combine pumpkin puree, applesauce, yogurt, sugar, eggs, salt and all of the spices in a big bowl. Mix well.
  • Pour this mixture into your prepared pie crust and bake in the pre-heated oven at 220°C/425°F for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175°C/350°F and bake for another 45 minutes or until filling is set.
  • Let cool in the pan. Enjoy!
